Hi, I don't think Asterisk can do this yet but I was wondering if one could start and stop voice recording on demand (but via voice commands). Our situation: some users would need to initiate a call to a special extension/context dedicated to voice recording. This can be done easily. However, once the call is established, the users can't use their hands but they would need to at least stop and start recording. "Silence detection" (ie. no recording if the user is not speaking) is not an option because the user *will* need to talk but will not want it recorded (and the user will not be able to turn the mic off). In case you're wondering, this type of user is a doctor. I know that open source speech recognition is still green in Asterisk but I was wondering if someone had any ideas or previous experience in this matter. Maybe there could be a "physical solution" through the use of a specially-activated microphone (eg. using anything but hands) but I still haven't found such a product. Suggestions appreciated.
