Implementing FLITE TTS with Incredible PBX for XiVO

We now have FLITE working reliably with XiVO. It's included in 11-26-2016 build of Incredible PBX 14.

Here's how to install it on earlier servers:
Code:
cd /usr/src
apt-get install libflite1
wget http://ftp.us.debian.org/debian/pool/main/f/flite/flite1-dev_1.4-release-12_amd64.deb
dpkg -i flite1-dev*
git clone https://github.com/zaf/Asterisk-Flite.git
cd Asterisk-Flite
make clean
make
make install
make samples
echo "voice=slt" >> /etc/asterisk/flite.conf
echo "samplerate=16000" >> /etc/asterisk/flite.conf
/etc/init.d/asterisk restart
asterisk -rx "core show application like flite"

And here is some sample dialplan code that could be inserted into the [xivo-extrafeatures] context of /etc/asterisk/extensions_extra.d/xivo-extrafeatures.conf. Then reload dialplan: asterisk -rx "dialplan reload"
Code:
exten => 999,1,Answer
exten => 999,n,Wait(1)
exten => 999,n,Flite("This is a test of this fancy new FLITE speech engine.")
exten => 999,n,Hangup

So what are advantages of flite over what we had previously in xivo/incredible ?

Ward, all of the xivo.io links (like to set up WebRTC) are invalid, can you check?

Maybe @Sylvain Boily can point us in the right direction. There's probably some housecleaning underway. ;)o_O

Hello, i can't explain all details for the moment, but wazo is a fork by the core team who had develop xivo for a long time. Futur is the same, continue to develop a telecommunication platform under free software license. We started this fork friday, so keep in touch, we'll release a new version soon. We will do our best to be transparent for everyone want to upgrade from xivo to wazo.

Why does the core team need a fork? Wouldn't the non-core people be the fork? That is what is confusing me here....

@briankelly63 the main reason is trademark, avencall changed is ceo and he decided we haven't the right to continue to use xivo trademark. I can't explain everything because it seems he loves to send me his lawyer and i don't want to pass all of my day to exchange with them. xivo is a free software, so good news, we forked it to continue our dev i started 12 years ago. Name is not really important for me.

I think it's all hands on deck for the time being until Wazo 16.16 is out the door. So let's give @Sylvain Boily a little time. I think you'll love the new direction in which Wazo is headed. This is mostly a trademark issue and a decision by two groups to go separate ways because of a difference of opinion over future direction. We've seen this in other projects, and it just seems to be an open source fact of life unfortunately.
