Well, if you don't need the "stuff" to be voiced to the caller then yes, you can just do it in another thread. I suppose there are several ways of doing it, but if you just want FS to do all the work for you then I would create a simple dialplan extension that you can call via originate and then just play silence_stream://10000 on the b leg while doing the recording, say app, etc. on the a leg.

I'm having trouble figuring out how to record stuff into a file. I
know how to say stuff to the caller, and I know how to record the

instead of to the caller on the line? And then, now that I think
about it, this can't possibly happen in real time while interacting
with the caller, because it takes time to read some digits, and if I
want the read digits to go into a file, and not be spoken to the
caller on the line, this probably has to happen in another thread....
I'm writing this interaction with lua scripting.

You can post-process this. Just record the stuff you
want into a specific file name, put that file name into a chan
var, and then use a hangup-hook or cron job to do the
post-processing.

Not sure how to phrase this correctly, which is why I'm

searching for help on the internet.
I'd like to "speak" some audio into the recording that I am
making of
the user's voice.
For example, say I have the caller press some digits and
then detect the
digits that have been pressed, then, I can easily speak
those digits
back to them for confirmation, but what I'd really like to
do is begin
recording the call, and then speak those digits, or any
other
introductory message into the recording before they start
speaking their
message.
Say they type in the digits 123, then I'd read into the
recording: "The
following is the dictation for user number 123, taken on
July 3, 2011",
and then the person would start speaking and the recording
would continue.
Perhaps this would have to be done by some sort of post
processing,
where I append the introductory message onto the user's
recording using
sox, but I'd still like to use the voice system in
freeswitch because it
is good at reading numbers, speaking time, etc.
Thanks.
