Adhearsion

Adhearsion is an open-source voice application development framework. Adhearsion users write applications atop the framework with Ruby and call into their code.

Adhearsion rests above a lower-level telephony platform, for example Asterisk or Voxeo PRISM, and provides a framework for integrating with various resources, such as SQL, LDAP and XMPP (Jabber).

Features

• An elegant system of call controllers for writing the code which controls a live phone call.
• An events subsystem which maintains a Thread-pool for executing your namespaced callbacks.
• A very useful plugin architecture with which you may write Adhearsion plugins and share them with the world via RubyGems.
• JRuby compatibility for running atop the Java Virtual Machine and using virtually any Java library.
• Ability to re-use existing Ruby on Rails database models with ActiveRecord/ActiveLDAP
• Easy interactive communication via XMPP instant messages using the Blather library
• Strong test coverage
• Much more

Requirements

• Ruby 1.9.2+ or JRuby 1.6.7+
• A VoIP platform:
  • Asterisk 1.8+
  • Prism 11+ with rayo-server
• An interest in building cool new things

Install

gem install adhearsion

Examples

An Adhearsion application can be as simple as this:

answer
say 'Hello, and thank you for your call. We will put you through to the front desk now...'
dial 'tel:+18005550199'
hangup
