Hi there,

I'm quite a newbie about freeswitch. I have an  application  (IVR) that needs to have endpoints SIP to register,answer the calls and transfer them to the right phones.(I( have my own SIP server).Moreover it needs also a ASR/TTS API' set  to communicate with my ASR/TTS engine ( just for example let's assume it is Cepstral). I'd wouldn't want to have freeswitch running and communicate with it to accomplish that but just to use the libfreeswitch library embedded. As I don't know that much about freeswitch can it be done? or just I need to have freeswitch running as a must? Can somebody point me to the right place where to find example of using library embedded (best examples for what I'm trying to do) as I have not found that many?

Thanks in advance

Miki

Ciao Michele,

as a start is definitely better (and more gratifying) that you runs FreeSWITCH.

Then, if (and only if) there is a compelling reason that justify the
amount of time needed to develop a standalone application, go for it.


Sincerely,

Giovanni Maruzzelli

Ciao Giovanni,

thanks for the quick answer, but still I can't get if it is possible to use the libfreeswitch w/o running FS to accomplish what I meant.
It would need alot of time of development to make my application run as a FS application.Much better would be using libfreeswitch inside my application.But still the question arises:" Is  Libfreeswitch enough for having sip endpoints and ASR/TTS API?"
Do you have some examples for it?

Thanks again

Michele

Hi Miki, I'm not an expert on freeswitch but I'm sure that libfreeswitch
can be embedded
into c-applications (http://wiki.freeswitch.org/wiki/Embedding_FreeSWITCH).

In addition it possible to write part of an application as an
loadable module (applications in freeswitch are loadable modules). The
reason for this
is that a loadable module can use the dialplan framework (for example an
incomping call
can be routed to your application).

It is also a good idea to look into how the scripting languages are used in
FS (http://wiki.freeswitch.org/wiki/Languages_for_Call_Control).

//Accordingly to voipinfo.org
(http://www.voipinfo.org/wiki/view/FreeSwitch) is FS a library which
ships with a small
executable that loads the library, launches the core, and performs the
various tasks
that are defined by the modules (freeswitch applications).

libfreeswitch includes sofia sip endpoint and ASR/TSS (native or through
MRCP). You need
to modify some configuration files to enable ASR/TSS (sip endpoint sofia
is default).

Best Regards

Lars Sivertsen
