LVSpeechPort::DTMFDecode

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.

Functions

int DTMFDecode(const char* dtmf_str, unsigned int flags);

Return Values

Zero (0) or greater indicates success.

 

A negative result indicates a specific error:

 

-1: LV_FAILURE: The decode failed.

 

-12: LV_INVALID_HPORT: The Hport was invalid.

Parameters

hport

 

A handle to the speech port.

 

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)

 

LV_DECODE_SEMANTIC_INTERPRETATION - This flag tells the decoder to process the parse tree return type for semantic information in the tree's tags.

Remarks

The interpretation is stored in a voice channel called LV_DTMF_CHANNEL. Similar to the LVSpeechPort::Decode function, you may get the interpretation by using LVSpeechPort::GetInterpretation and LVSpeechPort::GetInterpretationString. You can also call LVSpeechPort::GetNumberOfInterpretations and LVSpeechPort::GetNumberOfParses.
 

On an error, call LV_SRE_ReturnErrorString with the negative result from LV_SRE_Decode to get a description of the error.
