PURPOSE

Stop Rude Calls uses speech recogntion and simple tests to determine if a received telephone call is from a human or a machine. Based on test results, Stop Rude Calls can transfer the call to a human, ask a person to eavesdrop and decide whether to accept to the call, transfer the call to a voice mail system, or simply drop the call.


Changelog

0.0.1 Alpha
Released 20060919

This is a pre-alpha release of the Stop Rude Calls application. If you're at all familiar with VoiceXML, you can actually use this as-is if you replace some of the "disconnect" elements with "transfer" elements.

In future releases, we'll add some better logic -- i.e., give people another chance if they answer "no" -- and fine-tune how we score to reach our decision.
