General Software Information The FAR Voice

Easy-to-Use Application Generator

Your Requirements are Many top of page

Whether you are a reseller, a system integrator, or an end user, when you choose a voice/fax/CTI (Computer Telephony Integration) processing platform, your primary concern should be the software. A variety of hardware can be used to do the basic part of the job - an Intel-based processor and telephone interface boards. To be sure, the hardware is important, but as long as you are using standard hardware from primary vendors, the fundamentals of the job can be done. But what about the rest?

The real capabilities of a voice/fax/CTI system are created by its software, and your requirements are many:

You need The FAR Voice.

An Easy-to-Use Software Platform top of page

The FAR Voice is an integrated voice software platform that provides an easy to use application generation system. It is unsurpassed in its high level power as an application development system for system integrators who need to design their own voice and communication applications. Thoroughly tested and documented applications and modules, programmed in the application development language are available. The most elaborate of these is Call-Access, a fully featured auto attendant and voice messaging system. The combination of The FAR Voice and Call-Access allows the system integrator, or the end user, to easily customize the auto attendant/voice messaging application to fit particular needs as well as to add other voice/fax/CTI applications as the need arises.

The FAR Voice has been developed to take advantage of the flexible NT and OS/2 multitasking operating systems, as well as of the technical benefits afforded by the Dialogic audio boards. Because of the inherent limitations of DOS, it is not just difficult and time consuming, but often impossible, to extend a DOS based system's capabilities to attributes not directly supported. Interfaces such as fax, e-mail, networks, and mainframe communication are much easier to customize within the framework of a true multi-tasking environment.

Creating Applications with The FAR Voice top of page

The FAR Voice has been designed to permit multiple voice and communication applications to be simultaneously accessible on a single software platform, as well as to permit BASIC or dBase level programmers to be able to develop, add or customize applications and interfaces.

Most voice applications are easily visualized as a flow diagram. Each node of the flow diagram corresponds to a "box" in the application generator. When calculations, or data base access is required, a "Do Script" box is invoked that unleashes the power of a built-in scripting language, or can access an outside (host) computer.

Mechanisms are provided for using the built-in capabilities of NT and OS/2 to create an open-ended system that provides a platform for developers. The ultimate capabilities of the system do not depend on official support of specific hardware by the software vendor. Developers have the tools necessary to interface any hardware that has an NT or OS/2 driver.
