ivr_speak_address()

int ivr_speak_address(int call,char *text, int allow_interrupt)

The ivr_speak_address function speaks an address to the specified call. It attempts to read the address from a series of wave files, stored in the "Address" folder. If part of the address can not be found, such as a street name, it is then read using standard text-to-speech. You can re-record the address waves already in this folder, or add new files (with lower-case names) such as "prkwy.wav" for Parkway or "central.wav" for Central.
