How to ensure input is only from keypad?

We have an application where the grammar mode is set to DTMF, the property "bargein" to TRUE, because we need to allow the caller to key-in his/her response even before the IVR instructions are completed. Specially if they already familiar with the steps.

But whenever the system is specifying instructions and it is interrupted by a voice or a conversation or background noise nearby, the system responds with an invalid input statement. It seems to take audio noise as a user input even if is is in DTMF. We need to setup the system to ignore the voices or noises unless there is a specific keypad entry.

Below are the settings:
Grammar Mode = DTMF
Barge In = TRUE
Sensitivity = 0
Type = DIGITS

IVR code to ensure system ignores voices or noises

Hi,

To ensure that the input is DTMF-only (entry only by phone keypad), you could use the following <property>:

Code: Select all

<property name="inputmodes" value="dtmf"/>
By setting this properly globally in your IVR application, you will ensure that the only input that can be entered is through phone keypad only.
