09:55.04dymHey giys! Is there a "recommended" text2speech engine? Im currently running asterisk 16.2.1
09:59.05post-factumwhat are you trying to achieve?
10:06.09dympost-factum: o
10:06.47dympost-factum: i'd like to be able to initiate a call and then play some text2speech snippets, wait for replies, record, etc.
10:07.22post-factumwhat about pre-recording them?
10:08.07dymwell, they need to be dynamicall generated. therefore i need text2speech :)

10:31.27post-factumi'm not aware of any free tts engines of a decent quality. are you considering paying for a commercial one?
10:32.52dympossibly
10:43.34post-factumi had some positive experience with Acapel voices in the past, but not in German

22:35.18LunaLovegoodHow should I implement a blacklist? Right now it's in my dialplan and I check against the database, e.g.:
22:35.21LunaLovegoodGotoif($[${DB_EXISTS(black/${CALLERID(num)})}]?stopcalling)
22:36.02LunaLovegoodBut recently I got DOS'd by an autocaller whose number was in the database, and Asterisk ended up crashing because of something like "too many open files"
22:38.04LunaLovegoodThat wouldn't be too bad if I wasn't also using the RTP proxy (no direct media, etc) so all active calls instantly drop when Asterisk crashes even if it's immediately restarted.
22:39.41LunaLovegoodI'm currently using Asterisk 15.3.0 so maybe that's been fixed since then (my server has decent uptime so I havent updated in a while).
