Description

This application will play the sounds that correspond to the letters of the given string. Optionally, a casetype may be specified. This will be used for case-insensitive or case-sensitive pronunciations. If the channel variable SAY_DTMF_INTERRUPT is set to 'true' (case insensitive), then this application will react to DTMF in the same way as BackGround.
