Watch a movie of our prototype here.
We developed a prototype, or more of a proof of concept, for Thursday’s class. Currently, using our prototype you can call a phone number by saying the following commands:
“Open Phone”
“607-555-6567″
“Press Enter”
Then the number you said will be dialed, and you’ll be connected.
Here’s how it all works. We have “Dragon Naturally Speaking” installed on the computer which handles all the voice-recognition, and our three commands. The “Open Phone” command opens our perl script; we wrote a perl sript that will accept any phone number beginning with the area code, then open Skype to call this phone number.
C’est tout!
That’s fantastic! I can’t wait to see this. Could you post a copy of your PERL script for the interested few? Is this at all related to asterisk or is it just a prototype with Skype?
Congrats, great work.
The perl script is really reallly basic, but here it is:
#!/usr/bin/perl
print “Welcome to command-line dialing!\n”;
print “Please say the number you wish to dial\n”;
$phoneNumber= ;
print “Dialing +1$phoneNumber”;
$skype =”\”C:\\Program Files\\Skype\\Phone\\Skype.exe\”";
system(”$skype /minimized /callto:+1$phoneNumber”);
