I=92m wondering what the best way to achieve the following is:

When a business call comes in, I only want to announce it if a set of
condi=
tions are true =96 at the moment this would be based on time i.e. only get
=
announced during business hours, otherwise I=92ll let the answer phone
take=
the call. I was also wondering if the announcement could get played based =
on a variable held in Outlook =96 a bit like a priority system.

Would this functionality best be dealt with by Switchboard itself? Is this
=
another feature request for James ;)

On another note =96 my Switchboard announcements are currently spoken by
th=
e HomeSeer speaker app but I=92m thinking of moving this back to the xAP
Sp=
eech app. The problem I had before was that both apps would speak the
annou=
ncement. Is there a way to specifically target a xAP TTS app?

Thanks,

Paul.
