Speaking Variables to Callers
Call variables can be used as prompts. The value of the call variable will then be spoken. This applies to all variables that
are numeric values. It also applies to $NAM which will play the mailbox users recorded name prompt.
Numbers are spoken as a series of single digits. For example 123 is spoken as "one two three". To speak 123 as "one
hundred and twenty-three" requires TTS to be installed and a Speak Text action used.
Some call variables can be played as prompts, for example:
