[Freeswitch-users] Am I using play_and_detect_speech correctly?

[Christopher Rienzo]

I looked over the code again last night and verified that
play_and_detect_speech should try to stop detection before loading the
grammar.  However, that scenario is not really tested, so try the
workaround first.  If that doesn't work, open a jira ticket with detailed
logs so it can be fixed.

You can use the detect_speech APP to do everything over ESL.  It is a lot
more work, but once you figure it out, you have the freedom to do whatever
you want, including handling barge-in.  play_and_detect_speech is designed
to handle the typical use case.
