PhoneValet 4.0 ships

Parliant is now shipping its major new release: PhoneValet Message Center 4.0 updates the company's Mac telephony product for small businesses, homes, and home offices. PhoneValet supports unlimited voice mail boxes, call blocking, logging and screening, automated dialing and Interactive and Voice Response (IVR) capabilities. Version 4.0 now records all inbound and outbound calls and stores them in a database for easy search and retrieval. The release also adds the ability to archive recordings to CD or DVD -- complete with an index for easy viewing. It also brings support for Intel-based Macs and features Automatic Gain Control in its custom built hardware for superior voice recording capability. PhoneValet 4.0 retails for $170 per line and includes software and Parliant’s USB telephone adapter. It is a free upgrade to v3 owners and a $30-per-line upgrade for others.

Can you use version 4 to make phone calls, using a Mac? Version 3 did not have that feature.

Dialing vs. Talking

03/18, 09:01am reply

from http://www.parliant.com/phonevalet/dialing.html "just pick up the phone — PhoneValet does the dialing for you."

from http://www.parliant.com/phonevalet/specs.html?l=navbar " Dial a number by simple double-click"

Notice in both instances, it refers to dialing... NOT using the Mac for speaking/listening.

from http://www.parliant.com/support/phonevalet/phonevalet_faq.html "Does PhoneValet let you talk on the telephone through your Mac? _Currently, no. PhoneValet is aimed at letting you get the most out of your existing telephones. PhoneValet can help you dial, and can record your conversations, but it does not currently let you take a phone call using a microphone and speakers on the computer."
