Phlink by Ovolab


Who's calling?
Ovolab Phlink, combined with the Ovolab Telephone Adapter, can answer telephone calls and identify the caller using Caller ID and Apple's Address Book. After answering a call, Ovolab Phlink records a message and stores it on your Mac for later retrieval.

More than an answering machine.
Ovolab Phlink lets you label and write your own notes next to each call, as well as sort and search through them. Using smart call lists, you can choose which calls to display - all missed calls, calls received in the last week, and more!

Take control.
But the real power of Ovolab Phlink is what it can do while the call is in progress. It will silently listen to any keys the caller presses on the telephone keypad, and perform actions based on the digits that are typed. Therefore, you can set Phlink to play a greeting which presents a menu of options, and allow the caller to choose by pressing a number. The menu can be customized for each caller, thanks to Caller ID. You can set Phlink to play a confidential message when a secret code is pressed. Or it can provide information by looking it up on the web: ask it a stock quote, the status of a shipment, weather forecasts, and more!

But Phlink is not limited to playing prerecorded messages. You can run any AppleScript, or launch any application, by pressing keys on your telephone's keypad - from any place in the world. Take a video snapshot and send it by email, turn filesharing on or off, restart a server. The possibilities are endless. Scripts can also send audio feedback to the caller by speaking text - using Mac OS X's speech synthesis, - in addition to playing back prerecorded sounds.

Your voicemail is now email.
Ovolab Phlink can encode messages at extremely low bitrates and send them as email attachments to any address you specify. So you can check your voicemail, along with email, while on the road.

Recorded messages can be encoded in AAC or 3GPP format, among others, in order to compress them efficiently while maintaining a good sound quality. 3GPP can, for instance, turn a one-minute message into a small, 60KB email attachment.

The ultimate message center, on your Mac.
