Looking to make voice mail app for non-profits (C#)
-
I saw this article on cnn: Free voice mail helps the homeless. I thought it might be cool to try and make a similiar such system which would instead work off one phone line, use a standard 56k modem etc. Here is what i was thinking: just like a post office has post office boxes, have a voice mail system where you can give the person a mail box number (such as 455 for instance), the soup kitchen/church/shelter has a phone line hooked up to a pc which takes the call on, then prompts the person at the other end of the line for a box number. The persons own greeting is then played and the caller can leave a message. To retrieve a message the owner of the box calls in, press # or * or something and types in their box number, then their pin number and can change the greeting, retrieve messages etc. It wouldnt have to be too complex, more likely the more simplistic the better. To create new accounts the operator could just do it via a webpage, or have an app which connects to the voice mail server via tcp. I'd prefer to do something like this in C# as it is my language of choice. So what am i after? Just people who can help - who know how to analyse sound (to work out the key presses) and such. It would have to be free, of course - maybe even open source. If you have any ideas or feedback, or would like to help - email me @ dev@dvmesh.com i have aim/msn/icq too if you want the details just email me.
