<div style="font-family: times new roman,new york,times,serif; font-size: 12pt;"><div>That's funny. The way I have it phrased, when I called I started talking to it as well! I have some code for short list voice recognition and thought about detecting yes and no in there, but I ran out of time...and the prompts were already recorded.<br><br>Thank you everyone for helping test the module. There have been 200+ calls from users on the list and they are still coming in. We're getting about 65%-70% success rate. My target is 80%-85% in random sampling and 90%-95% in controlled settings.<br><br>Update: I'm adjusting the detection ratios tomorrow, so that should improve general detection results based on the received data. I'm implementing filters to remove the background noise. I'd guess that 5% of those testing are trying to fool the system for fun, in one way or another. When the
user is unaware of sampling, the results are slightly higher. My greeting suggests a less masculine phrase, but with a male voice. I suspect this throws off both genders' recordings. I probably should have had testers say their own names, since testers rarely divert on that.<br></div><div style="font-family: times new roman,new york,times,serif; font-size: 12pt;"><br><div style="font-family: times new roman,new york,times,serif; font-size: 12pt;"><font size="2" face="Tahoma"><hr size="1"><b><span style="font-weight: bold;">From:</span></b> Gondar Monn <gondarmd@gmail.com><br><b><span style="font-weight: bold;">To:</span></b> Asterisk Users Mailing List - Non-Commercial Discussion <asterisk-users@lists.digium.com><br><b><span style="font-weight: bold;">Sent:</span></b> Monday, February 16, 2009 9:19:20 PM<br><b><span style="font-weight: bold;">Subject:</span></b> Re: [asterisk-users] Please help test the gender detection module at

Looks like my provider is not passing dtmf correctly ...... Had a serious laugh, system kept asking me if I was ready....., ended up finding myself talking to the IVR .....<br><br>
