Alright, folks, this is super simple. Access the server via SSH or local console and execute the following commands to download and run the installation script:
wget https://www.hostingjamaica.com/freepbxpolly/install-pollytts.sh
chmod 755 ./install-pollytts.sh
./install-pollytts.sh
NOTE: If you are using AWS FreePBX from TheWebMachine Networks, simply execute this command to run the installation:
smartupgrade install-pollytts
Towards the end of the installation, you will be asked for the following information:
- AWS Access Key ID
- AWS Secret Access Key
You can generate these keys from the AWS IAM Management Console: https://console.aws.amazon.com/iam/home 20 - AWS Region Code
Use the region closest to your server for optimal performance; will default to ‘us-east-1’ if not specified. Here’s a list of proper region codes: https://docs.aws.amazon.com/AWSEC2/latest/UserGuide/using-regions-availability-zones.html#concepts-available-regions 15 - AWS Polly Voice ID
Will default to ‘Joanna’ (en-US) if not specified. Use a Voice ID from this page: https://docs.aws.amazon.com/polly/latest/dg/voicelist.html 16
Once the script is finished, you’ll want to add the ‘polly’ engine via Settings > Text to Speech Engines and specify ‘/usr/bin/node’ as the Engine Path:
