When you open a spreadsheet or document written by someone, your OpenOffice would automatically detect whatever looks like a phone number (that comes from the so-called SmartTags feature). Then it would simply add a contextual menu to it. Using this menu, you can dial the corresponding number.

Re: [asterisk-users] Opensource Speech recognition for Asterisk
Thanks guys. A lot of info here :-) I am wondering if anyone followed this and it was working for them: http://scribblej.com/svn/ ??? I am not looking for anything fancy. The basic "yes", "no", dialing a number, asking for agent, etc...out of which probably the hardest is a 10 digit number to be asked to be dialed. Thanks On Sun, Aug 22, 2010 at 2:30 AM, Nickolay V.

It fails if you: -use an accent, try southern US, German (your best Arnold impersonation), etc -speak too fast, hesitate, have other people talking in the background -induce false positives. For example if you say "Mississippi" for a flight number, it will give you flight info for some flight I would suggest that in any system dependent on speech recognition, allow DTMF entry as a backup. The AA system doesn't do this, and probably that contributes to user frustration. You can say "agent", "help", etc many times before the system understands you (or gives up trying to understand you) and actually transfers you to an agent. At that point, if you complain about the automated system, the first thing they ask you is if you're on a mobile phone and if so you have to call from a quiet place (i.e. not a car). In the late 1980s AA was sued over DFW Airport signs that caused drivers to take their eyes off the road in order to figure out gates. They lost and had to pay millions, so I can understand if disabling DTMF results from a desire to reduce legal liability for people who would rather take their eyes off the road to tap keys. But I don't understand their inability to field a more robust speech recognition system. In my opinion, state-of-the-art for speech recognition systems hasn't advanced much since the early 1990s. -Jeff -- _ -- Bandwidth and Colocation Provided by http://www.api-digital.com -- New to Asterisk?

I have several 1.4 systems on CentOS with no issues, other than 1.4 versions that were released broken and then later fixed. I have been able to do in place upgrades of both CentOS and Asterisk with no real issues. I don't believe I ever moved from 1.2 to 1.4 on the same box though. I did have an issue with Zaptel and CentOS 3 after a certain Zaptel version, as it required a later make that wasn't available for CentOS 3 ( or at least I could never locate it ) all ancient history now, though. Have yet to find a reason to move to 1.6, and will probably wait for a stable version of 1.8 some time in the future!

Never found the problem as it didn't matter for me. Built a new machine for the phones and went directly to 1.6 and never looked back. You might try a clean install of Centos 5 if that's a reasonable suggestion to make. Install it on a new drive and then you can get back to the working system in a couple of minutes.

[asterisk-users] .call files with application/data are not generating correct CDR
Hi, The exact problem that I'm experiencing is described at http://www.spinics.net/lists/asterisk/msg122364.html in an earlier posting to the mailing list, but I could find no replies to it. I installed Asterisk using Ubuntu's apt-get and then fixed the mysql conf (which doesn't load if you use the default apt-get install asterisk-mysql) by building it from scratch. I'm using Asterisk as an automated voice messaging system so need to be able to dynamically make .call files which point to different mp3 files. My calls are now being logged to the mysql database but even if I answer a call it still logs as "Not Answered" with a duration of zero. Setting unanswered to either yes or no makes no difference in cdr.conf - the call is still logged as "Not Answered" if I pick it up. Really the only way around this I can see is to check the lastapp field instead of the disposition. Lastapp is set to "Dial" if the call was really not answered and "MP3Player" if the call was answered. I see that there is a known bug in Asterisk and it is suggested to use extension.conf to set up a context rather than using call files. The problem is that I need to be able to change the MP3 that is played. Has anybody managed to solve this problem?

Paddy: Now, here's idea I came up with (haven't tested yet, too busy writing a system for an international interpretation company's telecom needs) First of all, you should have a separate context for outbound calls made by internal extensions... so, in THAT context have code to set the CID to what you wish (you can do logic control and if you're feeling spiffy you can even lookup what CLID to use based on the extension making the call). Second, calls that are being passed from the outside world onto should pass through a different context, performing pretty much the same function... Third, both of THOSE contexts should then pass to a third context that performs the dialout using the multiple targets... Let me know if that works...I know I can make this do what you want, but I'm not trying to do all the work, just point you in a direction, since I get paid to actually do the work ;-) Cheers all, and remember, some of us have been doing this a while, and get grumpy... ;-) >> >>> there's still no conceivable reason >> >> What can be? except performance!
