Hi Lars

Thanks for you answers.

So if i summarize these are the SMS availability in the system.
1) Automated SMS for program ; template based SMS ( SMS on joined date,
reminder after sometime)
2) Automated SMS for program stage; template based SMS (reminder
before appointments, reminder for missed appointments)
3) Manual option for sending SMS- Not template based or pre-populated.

As in DHIS-GSOC idea page voice reminder facility will be created for above
option 2) for this project.

These are some of my initial ideas for the GSOC proposal, please provide
your feedback on this.

There is the option to convert SMS itself to a voice message using a Text
to Speech engine(TTS). This is good and easy option for English and few
other languages where good TTS systems are already available. But fact that
 this is a community based system and intended receivers
most probably speak only their local language, and there may not be good
TTS systems available for community languages.I will completely avoid the
path of using a Text to Speech engine(TTS).

I propose to create all the voice call reminder "setting functionalities"
next to SMS functionality already available in the system, rather than
creating them on new web pages. (Yes, it may need to create new pages for
recording messages, uploading messages ect.. )This would be more
convenient for system users.

Sample SMS reminder- /Dear / {patient-name}./ Please remember your/
{program-stage-name}/ on/ {due-date}./
Thank you./
To create a voice reminder inline with this-
Option 1- This need to record the voice in 7- sub-sections and combined
it programatically to  create a one voice massage them push over the PBX.
Option 2- Create a complete voice message for each individual
person separately.For this system admin has to put huge time and effort to
create voice messages, so i'm omitting  option 2.

So there will be need to voice some of the patient details(patient-name,
due-date). This voicing of patient details would be done at later stage but
not at the initial patient registration time. Will it be better to give the
option to upload or create voice recordings at the "Person Management"
console or create a separate web page for this?

Thanks
