Programmable Voice API Routes

Postman collection

Run In Postman Voice API - Last updated: Aug 12, 2024

The Voice API version 2.0 provides the following methods:

Dial-Out a Number

The voice service makes an outbound call to a destination number. The CLI (Caller Line Identification) of the number you have rented (shared or dedicated) for the outbound call must be passed as a parameter in the API. This number is matched against the provisioned number. In case of a mismatch, the outbound call will fail.

This API allows a connected call to bridge to another number or join as a participant in a video room.

interpret-asformatInterpretation
characters, spell-outNoneThe text is spoken as individual letters (spelled out).
The speech synthesis engine pronounces: <say-as interpret-as="characters">test</say-as> as "T E S T."
cardinal, numberNoneThe text is spoken as a cardinal number.
The speech synthesis engine pronounces: There are <say-as interpret-as="cardinal">10</say-as> options as "There are ten options."
ordinalNoneThe text is spoken as an ordinal number.
The speech synthesis engine pronounces: Select the <say-as interpret-as="ordinal">3rd</say-as> option as "Select the third option."
number_digitNoneThe text is spoken as a sequence of individual digits.
The speech synthesis engine pronounces: <say-as interpret-as="number_digit">123456789</say-as> as "1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9."
fractionNoneThe text is spoken as a fractional number.
The speech synthesis engine pronounces: <say-as interpret-as="fraction">3/8</say-as> of an inch as "three eighths of an inch."

The speech synthesis engine pronounces: Today is <say-as interpret-as="date" format="mdy">10-19-2016</say-as> as "Today is October nineteenth two thousand sixteen."
timehms12, hms24The text is spoken as a time. The format attribute/key specifies whether the time is specified by using a 12-hour clock (hms12) or a 24-hour clock (hms24). Use a colon to separate numbers representing hours, minutes, and seconds.

  • <say-as interpret-as="duration" format="ms">01:18</say-as> as "one minute and eighteen seconds".
This tag is only supported on English and Spanish.

The speech synthesis engine can use this information to guide its pronunciation of a phone number. The phone number might also include the country code, and if so, takes precedence over the country code in the format attribute/key.
The speech synthesis engine pronounces: The number is <say-as interpret-as="telephone" format="1">(888) 555-1212</say-as> as "My number is area code eight eight eight five five five one two one two."

"timestamp": "2020-02-16T10:52:00Z"
}

Events

Events that are triggered by the system are called using the webhooks provided by the API.

{
"voice_id": "f1aa71c0-8f2a-4fe8-b5ef-9a330454ef58",
"state": "ringing",
"from": "CLI number",
"to": "Destination number",

"room_id": "5f83f9743a8ad03af54eab4b",
"timestamp": "2020-02-16T10:52:00Z"
}

Explanation of JSON Payload

KeyDescription
voice_idA unique identifier created when a call is made This identification is used for all subsequent requests to the server.
stateThe voice call state event while connecting the call
- ringing: The ringing tone is received from the destination number (called party).
  • connected: The call is accepted.
  • disconnected: The call is not answered or is declined by the called party.
  • bridging: The bridged call is initiated.
  • bridged: The call is bridged.
  • bridged_disconnected: Bridged call disconnected.
  • failed: Bridging the call has failed.
fromThe originating number (typically the configured number) used as the CLI.
toThe destination number.
recording_urlPath of the call recording file.
timestampThe timestamp of the event created by the server in UTC.

Receive DTMF

EnableX receives DTMF on the voice call and can dispatch it to the application for further processing. For more information about DTMF, see Receiving DTMF.

DTMFs are asynchronous events, and application developers must provide a webhook which will be invoked by the EnableX platform on the application server in the DTMF event. The DTMFs are conveyed in plain text, but are encrypted by the webhook security provided by the platform.

Note: A DTMF event is different from the digitcollected event, which comes for voice menu. A DTMF event is received only after a call is bridged.

Events: Events triggered by the system are called using the webhooks provided by the API.

{
"voice_Id": "f1aa71c0-8f2a-4fe8-b5ef-9a330454ef58",
"state": "dtmfcollected",
"digit": 12345,
"timestamp": "2017-02-16T10:52:00Z"
}

Explanation of JSON Payload

KeyDescription
voice_idA unique identifier of the voice call.
stateThe state of the DTMF event: dtmfcollected.
digitThe DTMF value pressed by the user.
timestampThe timestamp in UTC at which the response is generated.

Receive Speech Recognition Results

EnableX passes the recognized speech text as an event to the application. The text could be a word or a sentence. The application accepts the text and may need to add algorithm to detect the word correctly from the text, as speech recognition depends on various factors and accuracy is always subjective.

The recognized text is available in the event under the recognized_phrase attribute/key.

Events

Events triggered by the system are called using the webhooks provided by the API.

"voice_id": "6b211e69-c2cc-4a65-99e9-f7a3c6922796",
