# 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
