RE: [Asterisk-Users] Voice controlled calling?
Hi, As far as I know, there is a possibility to make a phone to dial an extention when you pickup the phone. If the phone can do that (I know the Grandstream BT101 has that possibility I have no exposure to other phones yet) then you can do whatever you wish within the extension user gets in.

RE: [Asterisk-Users] Voice controlled calling?
Magnus Are you freaking psychic? You are not going to believe this but I just finished a phone call 5 minutes ago with a California based developer who has a proprietary version of this already available and is looking to share this with the asterisk community. His does even more than you are looking for so watch this space, he's also going to get involved with an Asterisk working group on off board speech recognition so it may be a few weeks before anything is announced.

That effort is underway here at LiveVoip as well. *22 drops you into the Voice Section. Its going to be a paid for offering in Mid May.

RE: [Asterisk-Users] Voice controlled calling?
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).

If http://www.shazam.com/ can identify music tracks over a GSM mobile, then it must surely be possible for voice with a quiet background to be discerned :) It is ... however Shazam have a complete archive of virtually every bit of music produced (and they license it too) and very clever algorithms that can compare sections of music very quickly. They sort of signature/MD5 every 10 seconds of music and compare that with the signature of the bit of music that's being played to them. But as far as the original question goes for BT (the encumbant) offering this to compete with VoIP services - I cant imagine why. They may be doing it to compete with CPS (carrier pre select) and other initiatives which are driving retail customers away in droves. In the UK there are probably less than 40,000 VoIP users - of which Wanadoo have the majority (all the others - excluding Skype - have less than 15,000). In 2006 BT (if not earlier) BT start migrating their core infrastucture to what's known as their 21CN (21st Century network). This puts IP in EVERY exchange in the UK, and ALL voice traffic is carried over IP. This will extend into the home, so if you have an IP phone it will work with BT's network, if you have an analogue line as soon as it hits the exchange it's converted to H.248. If they actually manage to get it going (which they are very likely to) the PSTN disappears in 2009. At that point it's likely that every UK telco that isn't BT, goes out of business too.
