DTMFDECODE(1) General Commands Manual DTMFDECODE(1)
NAME
dtmfdecodedecodes DTMF tones from A-law audio data
SYNOPSIS
dtmfdecode
DESCRIPTION
dtmfdecode is part of the isdn4bsd package and is used to detect DTMF tones in the audio stream.
 
It reads audio G.711 A-law coded data from stdin and outputs the detected numbers values as ASCII characters to stdout.
 
The detector is implemented as 8 narrow band-pass filters realized with an integer double-cross recursive algorithm. Various ad-hoc methods are employed to provide hysteresis and anti-bounce for the detected signals.
EXAMPLES
The command:
dtmfdecode < beep.al
 
will print a "1" to stdout.
STANDARDS
ITU Recommendations G.711
