I am not satisfy with voice of text to speech in twilio. Currently twilio has provided men, women and Alice in voice for read text. Which is not clear sound. So i want to use my custom voice . Or is there any option to make clear sound while reading text to speech in openvbx to twilio.
Thanks in advance.

Currently there is no way via the API to integrate your own custom TTS into Twilio. If what you want your callers to hear is fairly static you could create recordings of those messages and use the <Play> verb to play them to the caller.
https://www.twilio.com/docs/api/twiml/play
It might be possible for you to use your own TTS if you can have the TTS system save its output to WAV or MP3. Then you can use the <Play> verb to have Twilio play those audio files.
Hope that helps.

I want to Modify outgoing Voice Call input and Pass towards the End Call
How am I Gonna do that?
Firstly, I'll Make call Streams using Web-sockets, SO that I can get a input Stream from User
Then-after I can Modify the Voice according to Users Perspective
First question -> Is this possible? to get Voice from Stream?
I'll use Some Voice Algorithm and the Out-put of that Algorithm will be Redirect to Twilio Voice, So that the End User can Listen the Modified Voice!
Please Help me to Implement this Functionality!
Thanks in Advance and regards
The use case I'd like to create is to have some background audio play over a voiceover as part of an introduction to an IVR. Is it possible to combine the and verb at the same time?

It's not possible to <Play> and <Say> at the same time. If you're after a message playing over music then I recommend you record the message and audio into the same audio file and play it with <Play>. That way you can guarantee the quality of the audio and voice together.
Is it possible to receive streaming audio data from Twilio? I would like to be able to do this rather than simply downloading a recording after it's complete.

It is not possible to receive streaming audio data from Twilio for a phone call. Your options are to wait for a recording, or if you are looking for voice recognition, you can try using <Gather> with input="speech".
Twilio has just announced Streams ! It's a twiml verb that will communicate the audio through websockets to your server.
Otherwise you can try a solution I had worked on prior to their announcement: twilio-client.js-recording-bot

for IVR Voice do we have any additional voice for women other than the default three voices?
Programmable Voice -> Text-to-Speech, Is there any different type of woman voice?
Except(man, woman, alice)?
Thanks in advance.

You are right, those are the three voices we have, though alice does support 26 different language/locale pairs which you can set using the language attribute on <Say>.
If you want other voices, you can use other APIs to generate speech from your text and upload it as an mp3 file that you can use with <Play>. For example, here's a blog post on using Amazon's Polly as the voice on a Twilio phone call.
Let me know if that helps at all.
Whenever I try to play a recorded voice message from phone, it does not get played during the twilio call using verb <play> but it plays mp3 songs very well. What could be problem with the recorded voice message?

Noticed you came to a solution above, but I wanted to point out the full list of supported audio MIME types for the verb <play> and some best practices for audio recordings, which seem to suggest WAV files over other types.
