This is a very hard problem in total, but parts of it are not too difficult. Voice recognition with no training is hard. IT is hard enough to be the very reason it isn't widly deployed now. What is deployed now is usually limited to small vocabularies. Sounds like your request might be able to handle that. For a fairly simple hookup, you could try to write an application for AGI that records a prompt with either a timeout or a silence threshold. Then send that audio off to a application like sphynx with a small vocabulary list to match against. It should return to you a fairly decent idea of what was said. Do remember though that accents might throw it off so be prepared for other options of input. Last I tried, sphynx wasn't too hard to install, but was a pain to use. I would suggest small recordings over EAGI as you can send audio to sphynx in small chunks and with a vocabulary list of expected terms. -- Steven Critchfield <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> _______________________________________________ Asterisk-Users mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.digium.com/mailman/listinfo/asterisk-users To UNSUBSCRIBE or update options visit: http://lists.digium.com/mailman/listinfo/asterisk-users
