RE: (ukha_d) Homeseer/CID/Meteor

Yes, HS does use the new voices for announcements.  Others have
already said it,
but I will too - they are VERY good, especially when compared to the older
ones.
AT&T are still due to release an English variant at the end of June as
well,
though if it talks in a dodgy pigeon English accent that most Americans
seem
convinced is how we all talk, I'll give it a miss!

The script is still fairly basic (though way beyond my abilities, hence
why
Steve Hill wrote it for me).  If you have any additional feature
requests, then
let me know and I'll pass them to Steve.  Some options currently
being
considered:

* Pass the Meteor CID info directly to HSP, thus avoiding a whole bunch
of
hassle (and potential time lag) with it going through HS
* Run events based on CID.  At the moment device codes can be issued,
but that's
about it.  What I want is customised messages depending on the caller,
though
I'm not sure that HS can react quick enough to detect the number, match
it,
decide to send HSP a new outgoing message, answer the call, take message,
reset
message to default greeting.

Having just acquired a Meteor unit late last week (thanks Justin and
Brian
!), this post reminded me of the AT&T Voices thing that's come up in
the past
on the list.

Does Homeseer use these voices to announce the caller?

One thing I am clear in my own mind is that I absolutely do not want a
'known' voice speaking to me in the house. I have long thought that if I
ever
went down this route I'd ask a female friend (all the best SciFi
computers
have female voices) if she had any willing female friends (!) who'd help
out
with some recorded words/sentences on the understanding that I never
meet
said person. Well, unless they look like Lexa Doig, all you Andromeda
fans
out there.

I'm now looking at prices for this HomeSeer s/w.

Worked fine once I'd registered.
