Say a date in asterisk (not current time)

Question

I need help with asterisk's dial plan. I want that every time I make a call, when the user picks up the phone, I want it to say a specific date, but I can't figure out which application in the dial plan can do that. I am using SayUnixTime but it only says the current time. I'd appreciate your help if you could help me out.

Answer 1

You can use combination of SayDigits, SayAlpha and dialplan functions.

You also can use TTS system like cepstral.
