Your Personal Telephone Assistant
The phone rings. Your Mac announces the caller's name. Your iChat status changes to "on the phone". iTunes pauses. The call is (at your option) recorded live and logged. If you're busy, a voice mail message is recorded and emailed to you for follow-up.

The recipient of multiple rave reviews, including MacWorld's Best of Show award, PhoneValet includes the hardware and software you need to turn a single phone line and your Mac into a powerful message center for an unlimited number of voice mail boxes.
Reviews of Parliant's PhoneValet

After a Mac-simple installation, PhoneValet Message Center answers and keeps track of voice mail, plus PhoneValet announces, places and makes detailed records of calls you can reference years later — just like a well-trained personal telephone assistant.

Read on to find out how PhoneValet revolutionizes the way you use the phone. For more information, click the magnifying glass icons, or the more links to see screenshots and in-depth product descriptions:

Single or Multiple Lines: PhoneValet Grows With You
You can start with one line, then purchase more PhoneValet Message Centers for each additional line. They all work concurrently, and the PhoneValet database keeps track of what happens on every line so you can keep track of calls and expenses while enjoying PhoneValet's award-winning features.

Voice Mail: A Professional Image 24x7
PhoneValet helps you look your best when you can't make it to the phone. PhoneValet can handle all your lines at the same time, has multiple mailboxes, and emails messages anywhere you choose. Plus, our information center feature lets your callers hear answers to common questions and still leave a voice mail message. more

Call Recordings: Know What You Said, and When
Do you prefer to focus on conversation rather than note-taking? Do you ever need an exact record of what you said on the phone? PhoneValet can record both sides of a conversation to an audio file on your hard disk for later easy retrieval — an essential feature for doctors, lawyers and other compliance-driven professionals. more

Call Log: Track Your Calls — Billings Made Easy
PhoneValet's call log is a permanent, multi-line call history. It's a searchable record (also via Spotlight search) of your inbound and outbound calls, has accurate timing and can attach recorded conversations and voice mails. PhoneValet even logs hand-dialed calls on extension phones. Records can be exported for easy follow-up billings. more

Call Announcement: Greet Callers Appropriately
PhoneValet announces callers before you answer the phone so you know how to greet them, and who should pick up the phone (eliminating the guess-work). Caller ID information is also displayed on-screen as the caller's name is announced using speech synthesis. more

Call Profiles: Tailor Responses to Individual Callers
Call profiles give you the power to take control of who has access to you, and how they should be greeted. Depending on who is calling, PhoneValet can play a personalized voice mail message, send the call to voice mail after just one ring, send the caller directly into a predetermined voice mail box, alert you with custom ring tones or block unwanted calls and faxes. more

Remote Control: Dial In to Task Your Mac
Call in and control your Mac from afar. With PhoneValet you can command your Mac to perform an AppleScript, play an audio file over the telephone, or speak text to you as it carries out your request. Use it to interface with your Mac-based X-10 home controller, launch administrative tasks ... the possibilities are limited only by your imagination. more

Dialing: Accurate, Powerful, System-wide
PhoneValet provides smart dialing from any application. Select virtually any number on-screen and when you're ready to place the call just pick up the phone and PhoneValet dials for you. Powerful dialing rules let you automate the use of calling cards and long-distance access numbers as well as 10- and 11-digit dialing. more

AppleScripts: Powered by PhoneValet
For those users who wish to go beyond PhoneValet's powerful built-in features, AppleScripts can be used to interact with popular applications like FileMaker, NowSoftware or Entourage. PhoneValet can trigger AppleScripts when a telephone is picked up, or when a voice mail message has been received. PhoneValet's Remote Control feature lets you call in to start AppleScripts when you're away from your Mac! more

Fax Friendly: True Office Integration

When an incoming fax call is detected PhoneValet's advanced voice mail system can direct Apple's built-in fax software or the more powerful pagesender fax solution to receive the fax. Alternately, PhoneValet can monitor the call until a fax machine answers it — eliminating the need for a dedicated fax line.

Intuitive Mac OS X Interface
Like Mac OS X itself, PhoneValet works "right out of the box" without extensive preferences or customizations. Mailbox setup is fast and easy. There are no complex folder hierarchies to create or maintain. PhoneValet's core features continue to work even when no users are logged in and the PhoneValet application is not running.

Greet Special Callers With Their Own Special Messages
Do you want to leave special instructions for special customers or special greetings for a special friend? PhoneValet Message Center 3.0 lets you do it with a few clicks of your mouse. By setting up profiles associated with your phone book contacts, you can control what special callers hear when they phone in to leave a message.

Block Unwanted Calls or Faxes
Another new feature, call blocking, allows you to set PhoneValet Message Center 3.0 to play a brief message of your choice for unwanted callers, then hang up on them. You can also block calls (and faxes) that come in as "Private Number" when Caller ID isn’t displayed.

Custom Ring Tones Alert You to Priority Calls
Based on caller profiles you set up, PhoneValet Message Center 3.0 plays custom "ring tones" out of your computer's speakers based on who is calling. Ring tones can repeat as often as you like and will stop as soon as the phone is answered or when the call goes to voice mail. These ring tones can be sound or music files — or your own microphone recordings — just another way PhoneValet assists you with prioritizing your calls.

Information Center
Sometimes you want to play information to callers without taking a message. With PhoneValet's information center features, callers can listen to several such messages. Theatres, for example, can now offer announce-only descriptions of the movies playing on each screen, while still allowing callers to leave messages in business mailboxes. Perfect for clubs too! more

The call log and voice mail features as well as caller announcement provide line information, and you can record conversations on multiple lines at once. Voice mail can even play a different outgoing message for each line! more

Phonebook
PhoneValet's phonebook allows quick and easy access to those people you want to call often. Plus: customize your caller announcements! more

Voice Dialing
If your hands or screen are busy you can dial a call by simply saying the name of the person you want to call.

Email Your Calls
Not just your calls, but any interaction you have with your phone can be emailed to you wherever you go. From cell phones to office email, your calls can find you.
