[EAS] Question re CAP and text-to-speech

[Alex Hartman]

I believe the decoder contains the text-to-speech engine and generates
the audio from the XML file received from the CAP server.

This of course only works with CAP, not EAS protocol.

If our state Emergency Management Agency were to send a CAP-enabled message down a dedicated phone line to our State Primary (as a redundant backup to internet delivery), would the message have to be "in voice"?  Or does the translation happen at the receiving end, i.e. inside the EAS box at the State Primary?
