What is accessaphone and what does it do?
accessaphone is an enterprise application that runs on an individual’s desktop computer. accessaphone provides control of a users enterprise phone via mouse, keyboard and/or voice command. accessaphone provides:
1. Audible information regarding the status of your enterprise phone (i.e. Audible Caller ID, Message Waiting, Who’s On Hold, etc…)
2. Intuitive Keystrokes so that the phone can be easily managed (ex. D for Dial, H for Hold, T for transfer, etc…)
3. Interoperability with Voice Recognition software so that transferring a caller to another extension can be as easy as saying the word “Transfer”.
4. A means to meet telephony accessibility compliance across the enterprise.
Why would someone need accessaphone?
Phones are accessible right? Who doesn’t know how to pick up a receiver to answer a call, push the appropriate buttons to dial the call or place the receiver back on the base station to hang up a call? Does that mean the phones are accessible? Yes, phones do come with a raised bump on the five key but shouldn’t there be more?
What if you are someone who has trouble pressing those keys on the dial pad because of some special physical need? What if you are someone with vision loss and want to know something as simple as who the person is calling you, what missed calls you have or if you have any voice mails? What if you simply just had trouble figuring out how to transfer a call?
Since the phone is an important tool in any office environment, there needs to be more of a push to make this device more accessible to all. There is a solution available now that helps individuals accomplish the above scenarios and it is called accessaphone.
Where and how can accessaphone be purchased?
There are a number of ways in which accessaphone can be purchased.
1. Through an authorized reseller like CATServices.
2. accessaphone is also on the Cisco Parts list.
3. accessaphone can be purchased directly from Tenacity.
