Here are my notes on building an autoattendant system with Asterisk
Put everything for the autoattendant in /etc/asterisk/autoattendant.conf and then "include" it in extensions.conf.
From any internal phones you can directly dial these extensions to test the system.

Festival
For testing I use Festival to convert text to speech. I also use it for voice menu items when I don't want to record a custom message.
You need to install and run festival as a service so that asterisk can send it text and get a WAV file back to play. You can run it on localhost, it's not very resource intensive nor do we use it much.
