This document introduces Adhearsion, an open source voice application development framework built on Ruby. It can be used to build applications like call centers, sales force automation, conferencing, translation services, IVRs, and more. The document discusses Adhearsion's architecture and how it allows changing Asterisk configurations at runtime through AMI. It also introduces the Adhearsion Console.

36. Interrupting Blocking Operations
• Your caller wants to place a call through your system

37. Interrupting Blocking Operations
• Your caller wants to place a call through your system
• The way to do that is the Dial() application

• Your caller wants to place a call through your system
• The way to do that is the Dial() application
• The caller wants to be able to enter “##” to end the call

39. Interrupting Blocking Operations
• Your caller wants to place a call through your system
• The way to do that is the Dial() application
• The caller wants to be able to enter “##” to end the call
• The caller needs to do something else after the call completes
