<text> element

DEPRECATED ELEMENT -- use the <say> element instead
Text is an element that is used to tell the CallXML browser to use a text-to-speech engine to read text contained within the element to the user. No other tags may be nested within this element, the only allowable content is either variable names or TTS values. Note that the default TTS voice is the 'English Female' voice; this can be modified by specifying the 'voice' attribute of this element.

usage

<text cleardigits="(true|false)" termdigits="(123456789*#|ABCD)" voice="(TTS Voice)">

attributes

cleardigits	Data Type: (true\|false)	Default: none - attribute is optional
	This attribute's value is a Boolean, indicating whether the queued digits buffer should be cleared when this action starts. "true" clears the digits buffer; "false" leaves the contents of the digit buffer alone.
termdigits	Data Type: (123456789*#\|ABCD)	Default: none - attribute is optional
	This attribute holds the list of touch-tone digits which can terminate the current caller action. Note that for each termdigit specified, there should be an <ontermdigit> handler in the code to catch the event. Allowable values are any one of "012356789*#", the ordinary DTMF (Touch-Tone) keypad possibilities, plus the special keypad tones found on some telephones "ABCD".
voice	Data Type: (TTS Voice)	Default: none - attribute is optional
	The voice attribute defines the Text-to-Speech voice that should be used for what is enclosed within that particular <text> element. This allows the developer a way to override the default voice genders/styles on a prompt by prompt basis. The currently supported voices for the CallXML2.0 platform are: English-Female2 (default) English-Male2 French-Female1 Spanish-Female1
