Youseful TAPI PLUGIN

[youseful]

ALL NEW TAPI Plugin

http://www.fmplugin.net

This plug-in is a powerful Filemaker plug-in that will allow you to create

robust computertelephony applications quickly and easily. It uses Windows

standard TAPI so it will work on a widevariety of hardware devices from

inexpensive voice modems to full featured telephony boards.Unfortunately

since TAPI is a Windows API, this plug-in will currently only work on the

Windows platform

Some possible uses for the Youseful TAPI plug-in:

- log all incoming calls with caller ID in a Filemaker table and cross

reference them to a contact table

- create a full featured answering machine

- create a voice response IVR system

- create an auto-dialer announcement application

- allow customers to check their account information over the phone

- take automated credit card orders over the phone

- record all incoming and outgoing conversations for future reference

- filter and drop incoming calls based on caller ID information

Some features of the plug-in:

- Uses the TAPI standard so works on most voice modems and telephony boards

- Play and record wave files

- Send and receive DTMF tones (touch tone button sounds)

- Get caller ID of incoming calls

- Answer and make calls

- Silence detection

- With free install of Microsoft SAPI Text to Speech engine (included with

XP), has full text to

speech capability - see http://www.microsoft.com/speech

- Full call progress detection on both inbounds and outbound calls

- Uses tone recognition technology on outbound calls to overcome bug with

Unimodem driver which

sends the CONNECTED event too soon on voice modems (this will make sense

later). This allows

dialing from the computer to work properly and allows for the creation auto

dialer applications.

- Full featured event model to allow for easy programming

- Includes several commented working example applications that are useful

already applications

- Incoming call pop up that allows user to deal with or ignore an incoming

so that a user can be

working on Filemaker at the time of an incoming call and not be interrupted

in their work
