Twilio Voice Alphabetic Characters

Is it possible through Twilio Voice services to "gather" alphabetic letters from the phone keypad. I know I can easily gather digits, but can I gather alphabetic letters. So I could gather a user entry such as "ABC123"?

Thanks for your time

Twilio developer evangelist here.

I'm afraid Twilio will only deliver you the numbers that a user pressed. You could, however, try to work out words by turning the numbers into digits and matching against a dictionary. A bit like the dCode tool here. There's a blog post on doing this in C# here.
