Hi, How can I build an SMS to Voice alert system using NowSMS? For example To send your SMS in voice just follow the steps given below : 1. You will have to write an SMS, which will begin with the ten-digit mobile/landline number to which the message has to be sent. e.g. 9814012345 or 0172123456, then a space and then the message to be delivered will follow the number. You will have to send this SMS on 910. 2. A call will be made to the number specified in the SMS. 3. A prompt “This is a voice message from mobile number 9814xxxxxx” is read before the actual message, to the receiver. 4. The message will be read out twice to the receiver. After this the receiver will be given an option as “press 1 to listen again, press 2 to reply in YES, press 3 to reply in no, to end just hang-up”. 5. When the message is delivered, the same is confirmed to you through an SMS as “ Your message has been successfully delivered to number xxxxxxxxxx. Reply to your message is <YES or NO>. Is this possible through NowSMS? What components will I need? | |||

Yes, you would need some text to speech software (possibly some free software from Microsoft, I'm not sure?). And you would need an IVR (Interactive Voice Response) server (I'd probably go with something VoiceXML based). The inbound SMS would need to trigger the IVR system to make a call. When the IVR system has results of the call, an HTTP request would have to be made back to NowSMS to send a message back to the initiator. -bn | |||
