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. Many thanks Magnus
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.

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.

That's not what he is looking for though, this will only dial 1 number -----Original Message----- From: asterisk-users-bounces@lists.digium.com [mailto:asterisk-users-bounces@lists.digium.com] On Behalf Of Josiah Bryan Sent: Thursday, April 07, 2005 4:52 PM To: Asterisk Users Mailing List - Non-Commercial Discussion Subject: 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).
