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.
