315.0. "DECtalk Reminder System?" by BRDWLK::VEALEK () Fri Sep 19 1986 16:07

    Just wondering what it would take to accomplish the following:
    
    Create some form of procedure that asks the following:
        Time of Call:
        Message:
        Phone Number to Call:
    
    This procedure would hand the info to DECtalk somehow.         
    
    The goal is to have DECtalk call the number at the appropriate time
    and leave the message, kind of a "voice" reminder system.
    
    Any DECtalk types out there that might be able to shed some insite
    on this???

315.1Piece of cakeREGENT::MINOWMartin Minow -- DECtalk EngineeringFri Sep 19 1986 16:389
Shouldn't be too hard.  There's a conference booking system in
Reading that calls you 10 minutes before your meeting.  (Contact
Don Finnie on VOGON::FINNIE for details.)

You should ask this question in the DECtalk notesfile (REGENT::DECTALK).
Press KP7 to add this conference.

315.2Use DTK$CASEE::COWANKen CowanSun Oct 12 1986 08:0014

    It sounds like a trivial exercise using the DTK$ RTL procedures.
    The hardest part will be doing the queuing part of the application
    so that you execute a DTK$DIAL_PHONE at the correct time.
    
    For info on the DTK routines, find a VMS V4.4 docset.   You'll
    need a bit of DTK$INITIALIZE, DTK$DIAL_PHONE, DTK$SPEAK_TEXT,
    DTK$HANGUP_PHONE and DTK$TERMINATE.
    
    For help on this, try the SMG conference on CLT.
