 Posted: Wed Mar 19, 2008 10:48 pm Post subject: [asterisk-users] Newbie IVR: How to read() before playback() |
 |
|
I am working on a menu to accept input from a caller like as follows:
Exten => 100,1,Answer()
Exten => 100,n,Playback(LONG-MESSAGE)
Exten => 100,n,Read(OPTION,,2)
...
When I tested it, I noticed if I start pressing a key before the
Playback() is finished, the input is not buffered (simply ignored) and I
have to listen to the whole message before I could re-enter again.
Is there a way that I could press a key and it will be Read() before the
Playback is finished?
It seems like a lot of IVR system in the market can doing that and I am
wondering if I have missed something in Asterisk.
Any thoughts? |

Use Background instead of Playback, and put an
exten => XX,n,Goto
at the bottom of the context.
That should get you started.....

Try this:
exten => 100,1,Answer()
exten => 100,n,Read(OPTION,LONG-MESSAGE,2)
