Sphinx Comments

The SPHINX documentation is mainly for voice software experts only. CMU has linked SPHINX up to an IVR system.

Here it is:

1-877-CMU-PLAN (1-877-268-7526) or at +1 412 268 1084.

The quality in one quick pass-through is very good.

This work, I believe, would be a massive project in an of itself - from a business perspective companies could use it, I think, free of charge because of SPHINX's licensing.

I need to find a better way to use IVR, delving into open source is not viable unless I can find some kind of authoritative how-to on the subject.

To summarize: my focus is on VIRTOOLS building blocks and interactivty based on dabase values - not configuring open source speech software.
