Hi,
I found a very nice but a little crappy program which can be used as "skype personal assistant", I mean it can answer calls and save voice messages, as a normal phone answering machine, it can record a call, it can send text messages to users while you are away, and so on...
it's called Pamela.
It's funny because there's one with a boy's name (SAM, Skype answering machine) and this has a girl's name, Pamela :)
...and of course girls are more intelligent than boys... ha ha ha ha ha I am kidding! But it's not my fault if Sam is so limited! :) LOL
Stopping with jokes, I just wanted to give you the URL
http://www.pamela-systems.de
There is a basic, a standard and a professional version, the basic is freeware and the others cost a little, the pro is 17€.
It's a bit crappy because it plays a not so nice trick...
when you install it, it installs on your machine a program called "virtual cable", that works as a virtual sound card, needed by the Pamela software, I suppose.
The crap is that if you have a screen reader software running automatically when Windows starts, the synth does not talk!
And you are forced to turn the screen reader off, and to turn it on again, so it starts talking again and no problems come any longer.
Well for people with Braille devices, it's quite OK.
But not for folks without any device! :-(
Well guys...
what I ask you, is to try it and if someone who is clever with such things, could figure it out and find/solve the problem.
I just contacted Pamela's vendor but no answer came.
I am quite a geek, but I have only a machine and cannot play with these things, running the risk of deactivate the sound card or the answering machine forever
thanks bye
