** I have to admit, in my native language it sounds very good, I bet that the others is just great
Need to play with Synthesized Speech Markup Language (SSML)
Take caution with only one title thing,
Tropo supports all of the Required elements of the SSML specification with one exception. SSML supports a tag called “voice” which allows a developer to specify the voice name. In Tropo voice is a parameter of the say or ask verbs and should be set as documented. Attempting to set voice within SSML will result in a failure for the text to render or use a voice other than the one intended.

Adding Voicemail Detection to an outbound Tropo Application
This is a nice one, the ammount of ideas that this one sparks are very broad (No pun intended)
One cool example… and this one applies to many businesses that have repetitive calling patterns/messages
Call the person
Call goes to Voicemail
Leave an alternate “Generic Message” when VM picks up the call
Saved you few minutes a call… 🙂
Generic and Professional Voice Prompts… Yes Tropo did that!
Another thing that really makes me like the Tropo team already is that they make solutions easier… I’m still just on the learning phase and I’m already liking what I see. I personally added this one to my Toolbox in case I need it in the future.

My take and last words
There are so many other tools available in their documentation, I think is worth a few minutes of your time to take a look at. I also want to remind everyone out there that I’m by no means a coder, and right now I’m learning as I go… so far my experience with Tropo has been a breeze
