# baresipy

![](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/TigreGotico/baresipy/dev/logo.png)

A python wrapper around [baresip](https://github.com/baresip/baresip), the portable SIP user-agent.

Use it to place and receive VoIP calls from python. You can dial out, answer inbound calls, stream
text-to-speech or arbitrary audio into a call, send and receive DTMF, transcribe what a caller says,
and build interactive voice bots, with or without a SIP registrar, with or without a sound card.

## Install

```bash
sudo apt-get install baresip ffmpeg   # Debian/Ubuntu, see docs/setup.md for other distros
pip install baresipy
```

`baresip` is the SIP engine baresipy drives through `pexpect`. `ffmpeg` is used by `pydub` for audio
conversion. See [docs/setup.md](docs/setup.md) for per-distro install commands, SIP account
requirements, and troubleshooting.

Optional extras:

| extra | installs | needed for |
|---|---|---|
| `baresipy[ovos]` | `ovos-plugin-manager`, `phoonnx`, `ovos-simple-listener` | `speak()`/`say()` default TTS engine, `baresipy.ovos.BareSIPMicrophone`, voice bots |
| `baresipy[server]` | `fastapi`, `uvicorn`, `python-multipart` | `baresipy-gateway` HTTP/WebSocket API, see [docs/http-gateway.md](docs/http-gateway.md) |
| `baresipy[test]` | `pytest`, `pytest-cov`, `fastapi`, `httpx`, `python-multipart`, `uvicorn` | running the test suite |

## Quickstart

### Scripted call

Dial a number, speak, hang up:

```python
from baresipy import BareSIP
from time import sleep

b = BareSIP("your_user", "your_password", "your_sip_gateway.example")
b.call("someone@your_sip_gateway.example")

while b.running:
    sleep(0.5)
    if b.call_established:
        b.speak("hello, this is a test")
        b.hang()
        b.quit()
        break
```

Full runnable version: [examples/scripted_call.py](examples/scripted_call.py).

### Answering bot

Subclass `BareSIP` and override the event handlers:

```python
from baresipy import BareSIP
from time import sleep

class JokeBOT(BareSIP):
    def handle_incoming_call(self, number):
        self.accept_call()

def handle_call_established(self):
        self.speak("Welcome to the jokes bot")
        self.speak("Goodbye")
        self.hang()

b = JokeBOT("your_user", "your_password", "your_sip_gateway.example")
while b.running:
    sleep(1)
```

Full runnable version: [examples/events.py](examples/events.py).

### OVOS voice bot

Answer a call and transcribe the caller with an [OVOS](https://openvoiceos.org) STT/VAD pipeline,
using the incoming call audio as a microphone source:

```python
from baresipy import BareSIP
from baresipy.ovos import BareSIPMicrophone
from ovos_plugin_manager.stt import OVOSSTTFactory
from ovos_plugin_manager.vad import OVOSVADFactory
from ovos_simple_listener import SimpleListener, ListenerCallbacks

class VoiceBot(BareSIP):
    def handle_incoming_call(self, number):
        self.accept_call()

def handle_call_established(self):
        mic = BareSIPMicrophone(sip=self)
        SimpleListener(mic=mic, wakeword=None,
                        vad=OVOSVADFactory.create(),
                        stt=OVOSSTTFactory.create(),
                        callbacks=ListenerCallbacks()).start()

bot = VoiceBot("your_user", "your_password", "your_sip_gateway.example", record_rx=True)
```

Full runnable version with two-way TTS replies: [examples/voice_bot.py](examples/voice_bot.py).
See [docs/ovos-integration.md](docs/ovos-integration.md) for the complete walkthrough.
