Telephone message software
April 9, 2005 6:15 PM
Telephone message software. What are some good voicemodem-telephony programs for Windows? I need a program where callers who enter a certain PIN (via touch tone) can hear a recorded announcement that I provide. I've seen some telephony software but I don't recall any support for touch tone entry. Seems something that theater movie lines use would be perfect.
Looks like CT Developer Studio may work; I'm going to look at it some more. Regarding equipment I'll just have one standard analog home telephone line and an internal voicemodem (forgot the manufacturer). Nothing fancy.

If you're willing to be adventerous and spend some time setting it up, Asterisk could be what you're looking for and more. It's a full-featured PBX system (PBX = Phone Box Exchange, which is the generic name for the phone systems that big corporations use... including the touch-tone or voice activated systems at theatres). It's also free, and can run on outdated, generic PC hardware with the addition of a card that costs $10 on eBay.
