Re: [Asterisk-Users] Leaving messages on answering machines (no its notspam)
Hey thanks, thats a great idea too Basicly just check for a pause, if i don't get one quickly, then its an answering machine And both ideas are compatible, so i could do both at the same time Chears Scott Stingel wrote: Answering machine detection is usually accomplished by analysing the timing of the voice energy in the initial answer period. People usually answer by saying: "Hello", "Frank Giwerski", "Pencil sharpening department", or something fairly short, whereas answering messages are usually longer. So, I think the usualy method is to have the software "listen" to the voice energy for some initial period until there's a pause, and decide based on the duration of this energy whether it's a human or machine. But listening for a beep, although less efficient maybe, might work too! Regards Scott Scott M. Stingel President, Emerging Voice Technology, Inc.

[Asterisk-Users] how does one get the very best quality output?
Hi, i'm trying to send some songs over via asterisk, so i'm trying to get the very best quality possible i've been using gsm, using sox with a rate of 8000, single channel, resampled q1, and got some good results, but i'm wondering if there is at all a better way I'm using voicepulse, which supports * GSM * G.711ulaw * G.711alaw * ADPCM * ILBC * SPEEX any of those better to send music through i've also maxed out my iax adding jitterbuffer=yes maxjitterbuffer=100 minjitterbuffer=50 Any help or suggestions would greatly be appreacted Thanks ___ 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
Re: [Asterisk-Users] <<< AGI and EXEC function CONFIRMATION >>>
At least with my php scripts, it retuns immediately, which is why i get it to check for what the function returns eg. fputs($configSettings['handles']['stdOut'],"STREAM FILE $filename \"\"\n"); gets it to play a background message This line keeps my script from continueing (and thus, ending and preventing asterisk skipping) $temp = fgets($configSettings['handles']['stdIn']); hope that helps Try waiting until jeff quade wrote: Howdie- Can anyone please confirm that the BACKGROUND application does ***NOT*** return IMMEDIATELY when called from within an AGI EXEC command? It seems that EXEC waits until DTMF or THE END OF THE AUDIO FILE to return to the AGI script. This essentially prevents repeated calls to BACKGROUND (or I assume any other asterisk dialplan application) from within an AGI, and prevents "building" a "queue" of audio files--- which is the default functionality of launching ***SEQUENTIAL*** BACKGROUND entries from the DIALPLAN. Is there a work-around from within AGI which will return IMMEDIATELY? The practical application here is to queue-up the following INDIVIDUAL audio segments from within the AGI and go on to other tasks without EXEC (or is it AGI command?) blocking the building of the audio queue: Build Queue with calls to EXEC Background-- segment 1: "Option 1" segment 2: "Press 11 for Sales" segment 3: "Option 2" segment 4: "Press 22 for Marketing" ...etc Return and do other stuff IMMEDIATELY.
