[asterisk-dev] Text-to-Speech and Speech-to-Text

[Ben Ford]

  To build on Josh's response, app_config is essentially the arbitrary data
field that can pass all the information you want to the application from
Asterisk. We wanted to leave this open-ended intentionally, with the idea
in mind that it could be used for other things besides TTS and STT.

Will there be a mechanism to stop the TTS on one stream when speech to text

We'll update the wiki page for this! There should be another response type
to handle this, with defaults in place if Asterisk doesn't receive this
particular kind of response from the application.
