Adhearsion is an open-source voice application development framework written in Ruby. Adhearsion users write applications atop the framework with native Ruby syntax and a simplified Domain-Specific Language for call management enabling users to call into their code.
Adhearsion rests above a lower-level telephony platform, namely Asterisk, and provides a framework for integrating with various resources, such as SQL, LDAP and XMPP (Jabber).
Adhearsion has... *An elegant dialplan system for writing the code which controls a live phone call *A sophisticated Asterisk Manager Interface library *An events subsystem *A reuseable component architecture *Ability to re-use existing Ruby on Rails database models with ActiveRecord/ActiveLDAP *Easy interactive communication via XMPP instant messages
