I couldn’t find anything about this in the mailing list archives; everything was about full speech recognition and transcription of voicemail.  Perhaps I just don’t know the correct term to search for.

I want to set up directory where the caller says the name of the person, and the call is forwarded to that person.  E.g.

            Freeswitch:  “Please say the name of the person you are looking for”

            Caller:   “Megan Fox”

            Freeswitch:  “Morgan Freeman.  Is this correct?”

            Caller:   “No”

            Freeswitch:  “Please say the name of the person you are looking for”

            Caller:  “Megan Fox”

            Freeswitch:  “Doctor Flox.  Is this correct?”

            Caller:  “No”

            Freeswitch:  “Please say the name of the person you are looking for”

            Caller:  “Katy Perry”

            Freeswitch:  “Katy Perry.  Is this correct?”

            Caller:  “YES!!!!!!”

            Freeswitch:  “Connecting….”

This shouldn’t require as elaborate a speech recognition system, since the “dictionary” will be very small.  Should I just look at the Vestec adapter?  Or is there something smaller and cheaper available?
