In addition, users can now remotely control PhoneValet to execute AppleScript or UNIX shell scripts that trigger on-demand information via text-to-speech (weather or stock updates, iCal events), control X-10 enabled cameras, or play archived news podcasts among many other applications. Previous versions allowed only the PhoneValet owner to initiate remote controls. The company also said that version 3.1 also enables each voicemail box to transfer calls to another extension or cause an associated AppleScript to execute, as well as record a message. The new call transfer feature is dependent upon available phone company or PBX services options.
