ivr_speak_state()

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

The ivr_speak_state function speaks a state name to the specified call. It attempts to read the state from a wave file of the same name, stored in the "States" folder. If the state can not be found, it is then read with standard text-to-speech. You can re-record the states already in this folder, or add new abbreviations such as MX for Mexico and CN for Canada.

Return Value
