asterisk users - Sep 2011 - Message recorder

Hello List,

Good day. I'm trying to create a message recorder. User will be prompted
with some soundfile (instructions on how to use recorder * to restart and #
to submit).

*Requirement:* Two copies of the recorded message are required.
[Recorder-A] One will contain only the last message recorded(final)
[Recorder-B] second one will record all the previous retries of the
recording.

Once the instruction file is played sound recording will start.

Meanwhile recording if user press * Instruction file is played again and
message recording:  continues for Recorder-B and restarted for Recorder-A.

If user presses # meanwhile recording..Save both files and continue to next
extensions.

I've done sort of combination with Record() application, Mixmonitor, Monitor
etc but nothing successful so far !

Please help.

Thanks.

- Sammy

I don't think you can have a single call recording an 'attempt'
while you
record the entire call at the same time. How about recording each attempt 
separately and concatenating after the fact?

I did something similar a few years ago using an AGI with the 'record 
file' AGI command and exec'ing the 'monitor' and
'stopmonitor'
applications.

At the completion of the call, an AGI executed 'normalize' to adjust 
different caller's 'volume' on the individual files, 'sox'
to concatenate
the files, 'ffmpeg' to encode to WMA (client requirement) and
'curl' to
upload to the client's web site.

FYI, if you anticipate concatenating more than 32 files, you'll need sox 
14.x instead of sox 12.x included with some distributions.
