Magnus, As far as I remember, Festival is only Text-to-speech, not voice recognition. In order to do what you want you need a voice recognition application. Also, compression gives voice recognition quite a challenge, as the speech samples arriving at the voip voice recognition engine is not the same as it was spoken using regular 64kbits pstn connection (as an example).

Hello all, rumours reach me of a way that the UK incumbent operator is planning to compete with VOIP by offering voice activated dialling, e.g. pick up the handset and through speech dial from your personnel directory, this leads me to wonder if this could be performed with Asterisk and Festival? I have looked in the WiKi and goggled, but can find no information on if this is possible, (particularly with SIP?) hence this question, has anyone achieved this? Intent would be to make is simple for non technical person - E.g. Grandma picks up the phone, does not have to worry about entering any digits and then makes call by voice control - for example "call daughter" etc. The key here is not to need any human interaction with the phone, other then picking up handset, the rest controlled by voice.
