Parliant's PhoneValet is a $129.95 telephony system for Mac OS X. 
Connecting via USB, the system offers a phone book with voice-activated 
dialing, call timing and logging, call screening (with spoken CallerID), 
and support for AppleScript. Additional lines can be added via expansion 
packs at $99.95 each.

PhoneValet¹s call logging feature keeps a time record of all incoming and 
outgoing calls so that you can bill for your time quickly and easily. 
With this feature alone, lawyers can recoup the cost of PhoneValet, 
probably in the first day!

Customizable Call Actions: Stepping out for a moment, but need to keep an 
eye on the phone? PhoneValet can email any address -- including your 
wireless phone's SMS address -- when a call comes in. PhoneValet can put 
you into the driver's seat by running AppleScripts too, the potential 
actions are limited only by your imagination.

Voice Dialing: No more hunting for business cards, scraps of paper or 
files. Thanks to PhoneValet's integration with the Mac OS X speech 
recognition engine you can say a name and PhoneValet dials the number for 
you.
