Phonetech

PhoneTech is a versatile utility that provides many powerful phone-related technologies that usually require expensive software, special hardware, or both. Working through any ordinary modem, PhoneTech provides the following features: * Includes a compact and easy to use "Phone Book" with which you can store any number of names and phone numbers for quick access. * "Keep trying" technology: if the line is busy or there is no answer, PhoneTech can retry the number periodically until you get through. You don't even have to pick up the phone until you're successfully connected. * System wide hotkey allows you to switch instantly between your modem (for dialing) and your phone (for speaking) from within any application. Work at your Mac in comfort while PhoneTech toils in the background getting through to your party. * Voice mail macros: fight automated phone answering systems with your own automation! Do you call companies that require you to press 1, then press 3, then enter your 16-digit account number, then enter your 5-digit password? Now you can "script" the process and do it all with one mouse click. * A call timer can show you the accumulated time of phone calls, with an option to automatically time only long distance calls. * Keep notes on each entry in your PhoneTech phone book; these notes can be easily updated, automatically date-stamped, and up to 32K long. * Sophisticated "import" feature allows you to transfer names and phone numbers from other databases to the PhoneTech phone book. * "Listen In" feature turns your modem into a one-way speaker phone. If you're put on hold, you can use this to listen in on the line without holding the receiver to your ear. * Automatic translation of text phone numbers, such as "1-800-SOS-APPL". * Integration with Qualcomm's Now Contact(tm), so that Now Contact can automatically use PhoneTech, with its "keep trying" feature and other capabilities, to dial phone numbers. * And, as they say, "much more!" Virtually everyone who spends any time at a Mac has to make phone calls while they work. Some do this only occasionally, while others make calls constantly as part of their job. Either way, the process can be made vastly more convenient and less troublesome, without having to learn a complex new hardware or software system, for the vanishingly small investment of $20.00. Minimum requirements for PhoneTech are any Mac with a 68020 processor or better (includes all Power Macs) running System 7.1 or later, a modem and a phone on the same line as the modem. PhoneTech is shareware and costs only $20.00. This download version is complete and not disabled in any way; registered customers receive a code to turn off "please register" reminders.
