[asterisk-users] New Parrot application, repeats what you say and more!
Lobster Technologies has just anounced the release of the most annoying open source IVR application ever devised by lobsters called "PhoneParrot". PhoneParrot is an app that uses silence detection to repeat everything a person says in to the phone. http://www.lobstertech.com/code/phoneparrot/ For example, you could have PhoneParrot call your mother in the middle of the night. She will pick up the phone and say "moshi moshi", the phone parrot will then say "moshi moshi". Your mother, confused will then probably say, "who is you playa?" to which the phone parrot will respond, "who is you playa?". I think you get the idea. But phone parrot can do more than just repeat what a person says! Here are some of the cool features: * Apply voice change effect to repeated voice (Only if libsoundtouch4c is installed and phone parrot is compiled from source) * Play random sound clip if caller rambles on for too long * Greet with random sound clip in response to first thing caller says * ToDo: Repeat things previously said in conversation Years of research has indicated that with proper deployment, most humans are unable to tell that they are talking to a machine if the voicechanger add-on is used. PhoneParrot is intended for the age 16-25 mischievous Linux hacker market; however, businesses deploying Asterisk may also find PhoneParrot useful as a torture extension for telemarketers. Please enjoy the new software, and remember: Keep it Open Source Pigs Justin Alexander Roberts Tunney Sanitation Engineer Lobster Technologies, Corp. Phone: (666) 700-1337
