Impressive integration experiment! Is your phone line busy during call forwarding? Would it possible to package all this in mobile app instead? There is some Speech API available and maybe call control/recording too, but I am not sure - not an IOS dev.

Thanks! I think Google Voice has two lines in, so it’d return a busy tone when I’m in an active call with someone (one line for each person to do the call merging).

Unfortunately the limiting factor would be background processing here; iOS isn’t permissive enough to really replace the server. I think it might be possible by using a background service on Android though.
