Insights
Ruby and ESL (sockets)
would be wise to play with https://developer.signalwire.com/freeswitch/FreeSWITCH-Explained/Configuration/CDR/CDR-via-ESL_3965102 but use the ruby library why is this wise? talk to claude.
freeswitch speech to text
it seems that somewhere freeswitch has a speech to text functionality built-in. If this can be near real-time, then we may end up simulating mini-omni’s approach, but with a better model that begins with text, spawns text, then we use a voice to read that text back through the phone.
