Yes, this is possible. It is also possible to turn the caller ID into a custom ring tone--if your phone supports that, as my Snom320 does. We're going to set up an Asterisk Tips and Tricks page at the SpeakupModified shortly. We can share a couple versions of talking caller ID scripts, and some guidance on how to set up what you're asking about. Unfortunately, it's knowledge that's doesn't all live with one person--so a little page is probably the thing to do. Christian writes: > Hi all, > I know that some of you are using asterisk. I have a question. This must be possible through some macro, but i dont know how to make it. Lets say I get an incoming call and when i pick up the phone the caller ID is automatically spoken. I know that Asterisk can read the caller ID but i dont want the other person to hear it. If the call is important I can press 1 to accept it, other wise it will go to voicemail. Any ideas? > many thanks, > Christian > > > _______________________________________________ > Speakup mailing list > Speakup at braille.uwo.ca > http://speech.braille.uwo.ca/mailman/listinfo/speakup -- Janina Sajka Phone: +1.202.595.7777 sip://janina at a11y.org Partner, Capital Accessibility LLC http://CapitalAccessibility.Com Marketing the Owasys 22C talking screenless cell phone in the U.S. and Canada Learn more at http://ScreenlessPhone.Com Chair, Open Accessibility janina at a11y.org Linux Foundation http://a11y.org
