Thank you Bruce for the testing and the suggestions.
Both features added in the script. Timeout can now be set by the user,
also -1 means no timeout and the recording keeps going till # is pressed.
Space gets stripped between digits, this is now the default behavior and
there's no need to determine the 'speechdata' type.
The updated code can be found here:

Next on my TODO list is to make use of the asterisk speech recognition
API (https://wiki.asterisk.org/wiki/display/AST/Speech+Recognition+API)
This will make the application actually usable for real case scenarios
and not a proof of concept as it is now.
