Merging/concatenating Audio Files.

I am looking for an IVR solution that allows me to automatically merge and create audio files; take one audio file (same audio file) and then merge it with another, save it and continue this process.

 

What I am trying to do is create weather forecast audio files. For example I want to take the following audio file...

 

"The current temperature is 56 degrees,"

 

and then merge it with all the weather conditions automatically.... further example..

 

The current temperature is 56 degrees and today it will be sunny.

The current temperature is 56 degrees and today calls for rain.

The current temperature is 56 degrees and today will be foggy.

 

There are 50 different weather conditions and merging each one manually to "The current temperature is 56," will take a very long time, thus Im looking for software that does this automatically.

 

Does your software provide this option?

Concatenation of multiple sound files to be played one after another is supported.

 

It can be achieve in a number of ways. Simplest is just to specify to sound files one after another on one line, separated by commas.

 

From http://www.voiceguide.com/vghelp/source/html/modplay.htm :

Multiple sound files can be selected to be played by separating the successive files by commas. eg:

 

prompts\1.wav, prompts\2.wav

 

would result in two files from the script's prompts subdirectory being played (1.wav and 2.wav) one after another.

 

For your application you would probably want to use a 'Say Numbers' module (see: http://www.voiceguide.com/vghelp/source/html/modsaynumber.htm) to speak the temperature, and also assign some filenames to use to Result Variables (see: http://www.voiceguide.com/vghelp/source/html/resultvariables.htm ) and then specify a list of Result Variables in the Play module.

 

Eg: have this specified in play module:

 

Today.wav,$RV[CloudCover]

 

with some previous module (a Database Query module?) setting the value to sunny.wav, rainy.wav, cloudy.wav, etc.
