When originally added it was only possible to terminate based on a termination DTMF, so you'd know which DTMF key was used because no other DTMF would stop. Afterwards a community member contributed a change[1] to add an option to allow any DTMF key to terminate it, but the dialplan variable stuff was not extended to make the knowledge of which DTMF was used available. > But SOMETHING must be floating around in Asterisk for app_record.c to > know what number was pushed.

Within the code f->subclass.integer is where the DTMF digit is. You'd need to make a code change to set another dialplan variable which contains it.

Re: [asterisk-users] Simple speech recognition for driving IVR - "press or say one".
Hang on, all of the fiddling in this thread seems remarkably over-complicating what should be an incredibly simple task. We know that a DTMF keypress interrupted the recording. We also know that app_record.c knows which keypress it was from * \param dtmf_integer the integer value of the DTMF key received as in static enum dtmf_response record_dtmf_response(struct ast_channel *chan, struct ast_flags *flags, int dtmf_integer, int terminator) For reasons which have me scratching my head, app_record turns a useful DTMF value into a rather meaningless "DTMF" in the RECORD_STATUS variable. But SOMETHING must be floating around in Asterisk for app_record.c to know what number was pushed. If I'm using RFC2833, is there ANY way of getting that last keypress. In other words: "The user pressed a number, recording stopped, now what was that number?" - WITHOUT rewriting and recompiling a core application or doing any complex workaround?

Re: [asterisk-users] Simple speech recognition for driving IVR - "press or say one".
Thanks for your responses - it looks like I have the following options, in order of ease: 1: Modify and recompile app_record.c Change line 471 https://github.com/asterisk/asterisk/blob/master/apps/app_record.c#L471 from status_response = "DTMF"; to status_response = dtmf_integer; Pro: Free, easy Con: Have to remember to edit module each time a new Asterisk update comes out 2: Use the Jean Aunis "mix ARI and AGI" trick. Pro: Doesn't need recompiling on each Asterisk release. Con: A bit of fiddling and requires an ARI library. 3: Pay $50 for uniMRCP module Pro: Does what I need to do Con: $50 per channel. Requires account. Lots of setup to basically add DTMF to the speech recognition I'm already doing. Yes? No? None of the above? Other?!

Re: [asterisk-users] Simple speech recognition for driving IVR - "press or say one".
UniMRCP with one of the various speech recognition providers they support
definitely works for this.
Specify multiple grammars in the MRCP call. One for text to listen for.
Another for the DTMFs to listen for.
The results will indicate which grammar and what was detected.
The combination of voice and/or DTMFs is exactly what speech recognition has
been designed for. I am very pleased with UniMRCP and the support they have
given us.

This looked hopeful for a moment until I realised that it doesn't do DTMF:
https://wiki.asterisk.org/wiki/display/AST/Asterisk+15+Application_SpeechBackground
So then there's
https://wiki.asterisk.org/wiki/display/AST/Asterisk+15+Application_Record,
which can terminate on any DTMF key with "y", but according to the
docs, "RECORD_STATUS" only sets a flag of "DTMF" (A terminating DTMF
was received ('#' or '*', depending upon option 't')).
So, I don't get to know which key was pressed via that method, either.
There's very little information I can find about the built-in
functions for speech recognition.
https://wiki.asterisk.org/wiki/display/AST/Speech+Recognition+API
doesn't actually explain how to integrate the actual speech engines.
In this previous forum post,
https://community.asterisk.org/t/asterisk-15-jack-streams-speech-recognition-so-many-questions/72108/2
, jcolp explained that most people don't use the speech interface
anyway, because
"Asterisk modules are written in C, and it’s more difficult to do
things in that fashion. Using the Record and ship it off using Python,
etc, is just easier and gets the job done for a lot of people to where
they find it acceptable.
So, AGI it is! But I'm still stuck on how I record for speech AND get
a DTMF if it was dialled.
Regarding speech in general, even "Asterisk - The Definitive Guide" just says:
"Asterisk does not have speech recognition built in, but there are
many third-party speech
recognition packages that integrate with Asterisk. Much of that is
outside of the scope
of this book, as those applications are external to Asterisk" - helpful!

*Reasons to use Lex over Google TTS*
• Has just been released in eu-west-1:
https://forums.aws.amazon.com/ann.jspa?annID=5186
• Supports 8KHz telepony https://forums.aws.amazon.com/ann.jspa?annID=4775
• Is in the core AWS SDK
http://docs.aws.amazon.com/AWSJavaScriptSDK/latest/AWS/LexRuntime.html
• Has a number slot type:
http://docs.aws.amazon.com/lex/latest/dg/built-in-slot-number.html
- this means no accidental recognition of "won", "one" or "juan" instead of 1!
The pricing is definitely right: "The cost for 1,000 speech requests
would be $4.00, and 1,000 text requests would cost $0.75. From the
date you get started with Amazon Lex, you can process up to 10,000
text requests and 5,000 speech requests per month for free for the
first year".
Amazon Transcribe looks promising too, but is only available for
developer invitation at this time:
https://aws.amazon.com/transcribe/ https://aws.amazon.com/transcribe/pricing/
But all I need now is the quickest, simplest way to send Lex a short
8KHz file and get a single digit back, as quickly and reliably as
possible.
Before I travel too far down this road, can someone point me in the
right direction and possibly steer me away from the wrong path?!

Re: [asterisk-users] Simple speech recognition for driving IVR - "press or say one".
Hello, Maybe you can do this by mixing your current code with an ARI application. I mean : - just before entering the speech recognition AGI, enter your ARI application - in the application, subscribe to the channel's events, setup DTMF event handlers, and call "continueInDialpan" - then enter the speech recognition AGI as before Regards Jean Aunis Le 06/12/2017 à 15:50, Jonathan H a écrit : Thanks Jurijs, Yes, in fact I'm already using that, and it works fine.

was received ('#' or '*', depending upon option 't')).
So, I don't get to know which key was pressed via that method, either.
There's very little information I can find about the built-in
functions for speech recognition.
https://wiki.asterisk.org/wiki/display/AST/Speech+Recognition+API
doesn't actually explain how to integrate the actual speech engines.
In this previous forum post,
https://community.asterisk.org/t/asterisk-15-jack-streams-speech-recognition-so-many-questions/72108/2
, jcolp explained that most people don't use the speech interface
anyway, because
"Asterisk modules are written in C, and it’s more difficult to do
things in that fashion. Using the Record and ship it off using Python,
etc, is just easier and gets the job done for a lot of people to where
they find it acceptable.
So, AGI it is! But I'm still stuck on how I record for speech AND get
a DTMF if it was dialled.
Regarding speech in general, even "Asterisk - The Definitive Guide" just says:
"Asterisk does not have speech recognition built in, but there are
many third-party speech
recognition packages that integrate with Asterisk. Much of that is
outside of the scope
of this book, as those applications are external to Asterisk" - helpful!

Someone else asked about speech recognition and unimrcp in this post:

This has a Google Speech Recogniser plugin, but it's $50 per channel

*Reasons to use Lex over Google TTS*
• Has just been released in eu-west-1:
https://forums.aws.amazon.com/ann.jspa?annID=5186
• Supports 8KHz telepony https://forums.aws.amazon.com/ann.jspa?annID=4775
• Is in the core AWS SDK
http://docs.aws.amazon.com/AWSJavaScriptSDK/latest/AWS/LexRuntime.html
• Has a number slot type:
http://docs.aws.amazon.com/lex/latest/dg/built-in-slot-number.html
- this means no accidental recognition of "won", "one" or "juan" instead of 1!
The pricing is definitely right: "The cost for 1,000 speech requests
would be $4.00, and 1,000 text requests would cost $0.75. From the
date you get started with Amazon Lex, you can process up to 10,000
text requests and 5,000 speech requests per month for free for the
first year".
Amazon Transcribe looks promising too, but is only available for
developer invitation at this time:
https://aws.amazon.com/transcribe/ https://aws.amazon.com/transcribe/pricing/
But all I need now is the quickest, simplest way to send Lex a short
8KHz file and get a single digit back, as quickly and reliably as
possible.
Before I travel too far down this road, can someone point me in the
right direction and possibly steer me away from the wrong path?!
