[Freeswitch-users] Javascript input

Fri Aug 10 09:33:47 EDT 2007

Yes. The current architecture works just fine.

I'm not saying that the current method should be removed. It's
excellent in those cases when you want to filter input during
streamFile and recordFile. But I still think that those cases are more
rare than wanting to abort the speech.

Consider this a feature request then: A new streamFile that do not eat
DTMF but aborts the speech instead. Or simply a new argument that
specifies that the method should abort instead of eating the DTMF.

When a user presses a digit your call back handler gets called. You can decide it the digit is a valid one and if it is valid return "false" (or the digit) causing the prompt to stop. If the digit is not valid you can ignore it by returning "true" and the prompting will continue. While this does require the application developer to code a digit handler it gives you a much richer option for the handling of the results.
