[asterisk-speech-rec] DTMF Delay

Fri Mar 16 10:20:44 MST 2007

Hey-
The culprit is most likely somewhere in the precompiled (blackbox) 
"connector"-- which cant be tinkered with.

Ive noticed that it SOMETIMES takes several seconds for SpeechDestroy() to 
work.

Perhaps there is an issue within the connector with killing the "speech 
object" if it has NOT ACTUALLY received a valid decode from the speech 
engine. This would account for moving on in the dialplan rapidly after ASR 
but slowly after DTMF.

If you are going to use the speech engine "later" in the dialplan-- Id 
suggest unloading the active grammars AND skipping the call to 
SpeechDestroy()-- until the end of the "session."

Please post results if you try above. Thanks.

Cheers-
jjq
