Hello I am an experienced java developer but a new comer to JTAPI field. I have built a News portal and now i want to convert it into an IVR based app. The idea is i would handle incoming calls on a specific number and then would play a voice welcome message. Then a voice based Menu would lead the caller to browse through different categories of news on the site.
My questions are the same as u would expect from a beginner.
1. What hardware requirements are there (Cheapest if possible)
2. Is there any good tutorial on JTapi for such functionality that i have mentioned here. If not then let me know any good resources about JTapi to start with.
3. Do i need JSapi as well in order to convert text into speech and play it for the caller.
4. If some how i get some code samples which i have infact how to test them, i mean the hardware or software setup for them (Soure code found on java site for placing and receiving a call).
I'll be very thankful to any one for his/her urgent response.
