DTMFDECODE(1)                BSD Reference Manual                DTMFDECODE(1)

NAME

     dtmfdecode - decodes 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
