Vodia Paging Account Can Be Used With Google Text to Speech API

Published on:

February 11, 2021

Vodia's paging account now supports Google Text-to-Speech via REST API, allowing SIP devices to broadcast text as speech. This is particularly useful for institutions like schools, factories and and hospitals - prompts are cached to avoid repeated API calls, enhancing efficiency. Compatible devices include Cyber Data paging units, desktop phones and any SIP-capable paging system using multicast or unicast. To test this feature, administrators can use simple curl commands to trigger text-to-speech messages via the Vodia PBX, making it ideal for efficient communication.

SIP desktop and paging units can now be used with Google text-to-speech using rest API; the prompts are downloaded in cached, which means the PBX doesn’t need to fetch the same prompt again. 

What organizations can benefit from text to speech? 

  • Universities and schools 
  • Factories 
  • Clinics and hospital 

 Which paging units can I use with text to speech? 

What do you need? 

To test the functionality, you can use the following curl command to initiate a text to speech response - this will trigger the paging account on the Vodia PBX:  

curl -u admin:password --data '{"lang":"en","text":"Welcome to CVS. Please enter your prescription number or say your name. Someone will be with you shortly."}' --header "Content-Type: application/json" http://localhost/rest/page/88%40localhost/playback

or  

curl -u admin:password --data '{"lang":"de","text":["Ihre Order","5445","ist nun zur Abholung bereit"]}' --header "Content-Type: application/json" http://localhost/rest/page/88%40localhost/playback
