Wow. I think I am going to try and implement that in the morning. I think everyone should set this up so that wherever you are, you can listen to someone's latest blog entry.

Well, I got it up. If you want to try it out, call 1-800-555-TELL and say "Extensions" then, type in 97869. The entries of my blog will be read to you.

I just through this up there, so it reads the HTML, when I have the time, I'm going to change that.

Glad you guys like the script!

The VoiceXML document that the script creates is very basic, just to get your feet wet. If you study up over at TellMe, you'll see fancy tricks you can add to spice things up. Fun for everyone! Woo-hoo!

Hey Kyle, let us know if you figure out how to keep it from reading the code. I'm trying to find out, but it's all a bit over my head!

Well, I figured it out, what you need to do is create a new index template called something like "Plain Text" and save it as plaintext.htm (or whatever extension you like). Insert the following into it:

<MTEntries lastn="7">
<!–START–>
<$MTEntryBody convert_breaks="0" remove_html="0"$>
<!–STOP–>
</MTEntries>

Then, in the script, where you replace scattered.org with whatever your site is, replace that with the address of your "Plain Text" file.

I also figured out another trick. I figured out how to have the program tell the listener about the site or whatever you want when they say "Help". Here's what you do.

Find the place in the code where it says "Entry Form." Below this, you will find what the computer says when the listener first comes to your extension between <audio> and </audio> blocks. You can change this to whatever you'd like, but make sure to include something saying "For more information, say HELP." Call into my extension for an example.

Now, find where it says "Previous Item" in the code. After the </catch> part of this part of the code (I think this can go anywhere, this is just where I put it), insert the following:

<!–HELP–>
<help>
<audio>Whatever you want this part to say………
</audio>
</help>

And that should be it, if you have any questions, just post another comment.
