This function passes a string of digits delimited by whitespace through an active voice grammar and provides a
semantic interpretation. Instead of performing speech recognition on audio, this function is used only to evaluate
the semantic interpretation of a string of digits against DTMF grammars.
Note: that this function does not actually process DTMF -- that is the responsibility of a telephony platform.
Its input must be a string of digits, not raw DTMF tones.
Function
- int LV_SRE_DTMFDecode(HPORT hport, const char* dtmf_str, unsigned int flags)
Parameters
hport
The port's handle.
dtmf_str
A space separated string that may contain the numbers from 0-9, the * sign, or the # sign.
This is the string for which you want a semantic interpretation.
flags (bitwise OR flags to set desired options)
Unused in the current implementation.
Return Values
Non-negative number
No errors.
LV_INVALID_BUFFER
Indicates that dtmf_str is NULL or of 0 length.
LV_INVALID_HPORT
The input hport is not a valid one.
LV_FAILURE
This grammar could not be activated, because the port was shutting down.
LV_LICENSES_EXPIRED
Indicates that the license acquired for the decode operation does not permit the use of the current version of the ASR server.
LV_GRAMMAR_LOADING_ERROR
Indicates an error in using an active grammar for the decode operation (eg: there were no words in the compiled grammar).
LV_NO_SERVER_AVAILABLE
Indicates that no ASR servers were available to perform the decode.
LV_TIME_OUT
Indicates that the preceeding decode operation timed out.
LV_EXCEPTION
An exception occurred while processing the request.
Remarks
The interpretation is stored in a voice channel called LV_DTMF_CHANNEL. Similar to the
LV_SRE_Decode function, you may get the interpretation by using
LV_SRE_GetInterpretationData and
LV_SRE_GetInterpretationString. You can also call LV_SRE_GetNumberOfInterpretations, and
LV_SRE_GetNumberOfParses.
On an error, call LV_SRE_ReturnErrorString with the negative result from LV_SRE_DTMFDecode to get a description of the error.
