Dingsty Hold Buddy

Call the hotline on speaker. Dingsty listens, waits with you, and dances when a person starts talking.

Ready

Press Start, then call the hotline on speaker next to this screen.

not listening

How to try it in 20 seconds

Dingsty first needs to hear hold music, then someone talking. Tick "Quick test", press Start, play any song from another phone for 3 seconds, then talk for 3 seconds. In a real call this happens by itself: hold music, then a person.

Ignore short announcements

Say this when a person answers (German)

Guten Tag, ich möchte bitte mit einem Mitarbeiter sprechen. Es geht um meine Sendung. Meine Sendungsnummer ist: 

Privacy

The microphone is used on this device only. Nothing is recorded, saved or sent anywhere, not even the sound. Close the page and it stops. Dingsty only measures how loud and how rhythmic the sound is.

Honest limits (demo)

Use two devices: the phone call on speaker, this page on a laptop or second phone (a phone usually blocks the microphone during its own call). It guesses "music or talking" from rhythm, so a long recorded announcement can fool it: use the slider. It does not press menu numbers or speak for you yet. Tested only with synthetic sounds, not on real hotlines.
