Speaking variables to callers

Last Updated : Jul 19, 2021 |

Call variables can be used as prompts. The value of the call variable is then spoken. This applies to all variables that are numeric values. It also applies to $NAM which plays the mailbox user's recorded name prompt.

Numbers are spoken as a series of single digits. For example, 123 is spoken as "one two three". To speak 123 as "one hundred and twenty-three" requires TTS to be enabled and a Speak Text action used.

  • Some call variables can be played as prompts. For example:

    • $NAM - Plays the user name.

    • $CLI - Speaks the caller's CLI.

    • $RES - Plays the current result if it is a .wav file.

    • $VAR - Plays the variable as a list of digits.
