Additional benefits of a softphone
HD voice ensures high-quality sound for your calls.
Calls are clearer and easier to understand, and voice quality is richer than with conventional voip softphones.
Record calls with your softphone.
Record a single call, or change your settings to Download recorded conversations, store them on your computer, or forward them to others for review.
Send callers text-to-speech messages in real time.
Communicate with your callers without picking up your handset.
Allow callers to hear a default message or type a personalised one to be transmitted via text-to-speech technology when you’re too busy to take a call.
These options are available even while you’re participating in a web meeting or are on another call.
Intercept callers leaving messages.
Listen to voice messages as they’re being recorded by the caller.
Intervene when a caller is leaving a message so you can accept the call.
