Alert Cascade Email 2 Voice

Overview


It's simple to have emails converted to synthesized speech messages. aql developed the email to speech service to compliment our reliable, auditable SMS messaging service.

Our award winning system uses multiple mailservers in different physical locations enabling high load capacity and reliability. Safeguard have been involved in providing reliable internet based solutions since 1999.

The product was created to enable a notification to be sent to phones on networks which will not accept SMS text messages - such as some non-BT landline phones and mobile phones on networks which cannot be messaged to - such as the US. It's also an ideal second form of messaging as a belt-and-braces approach to sending server monitoring messages using products such as Nagiosô server monitoring.

One to Many


The email to speech service works in two ways, 'pre defined' and 'open sending'. Using the service in 'open sending' mode allows you to send emails from one or more specified email addresses and have them relayed as a synthesized speech message to any mobile or land line number.

How does it work?

From your safeguard account you would setup one or more email addresses (ie the email address of the sender) for which our system will allow email to speech relaying through your account. Once an email address is setup you can then send emails to...

mobile number@openvoice.safeguardcomms.com

(eg. 07740123456@openvoice.safeguardcommscom)

The 'from address' for the email would be matched to your account and the first 300 characters of the email would be relayed on as a synthesized speech message to the specified mobile or landline number. Your account will be charged 1 credit per text message sent for most locations. Note - this service cannot reach all destinations and delivery times may vary depending on message content due to the time taken to synthesize the speech. Please test the application to make sure it is suitable for your requirements.

Email to synthesized speech 'pre defined'.

The email to speech service works in two ways, 'pre defined' and 'open sending'. Using the service in pre defined mode allows you to setup email addresses which you can give to friends and colleagues. Emails sent to this address will be relayed to a pre defined mobile or landline number, allowing you to receive emails sent to this address as synthesized speech messages.

How does it work?

From your Safeguard account you would setup an 'alias' (subject to availability) at the safeguardcomms.com domain, for example the alias 'fred' would give you the email address 'fred@voice.safeguardcomms.com'. Alongside this alias you will assign the mobile or land phone number you would like the message to be sent to. When an email is sent to this address, the first 300 characters of the message will be relayed as a synthesized voice message Your account will be charged 1 credit per message. Not all destinations can be reached and delays may occur with certain email content due to synthesization delay. Please test this solution to make sure it's fit for your purpose.

Can I have more than one address?

You can set up multiple aliases at the voice.safeguard.com domain. For example you would be able to setup an address and phone number for each member of staff in your company making it simple to contact them while out of the office.
