PhoneHerald is a broadcast dialer with Interactive Voice Response (IVR) capability for businesses and institutions seeking automatic group dialing, personalized message delivery and response collection.
PhoneHerald will give your machine the job of reaching, notifying or surveying patients, parents, customers and staff members - freeing people for more productive work.
PhoneHeralds amazing features include sophisticated text-to-speech personalization, powerful data import facilities, flexible calling schedules, live forwarding of calls to support staff, a message builder that merges audio from different sources for interactive calls, plus call-generated to-do lists and email alerts.
Main features:
- Powerful Automated Dialing
- At its core, PhoneHerald is a powerful automated dialing system. It manages the process of making calls from start to finish, repeating calls if theres no answer, trying different numbers to reach a person, and keeping searchable, databased records of all activity.
- Call Scheduling Convenience
- PhoneHerald can call a group of people and complete those calls, but thats only the beginning! PhoneHerald can also call groups of people in the future - as far out as a year or more. PhoneHerald can even schedule individual calls. PhoneHerald also allows users to set up "good" calling periods on a weekly Monday-to-Sunday schedule, to avoid calling people at inappropriate times.
- Flexible Calling Options
- PhoneHerald calls multiple phone numbers, and can be set up to call in different ways - for example, call each person on your list in the order specified or randomized so the same person does not have to respond every time. PhoneHerald can also stop calling when one person from the called group responds - for instance when you want to get a field service rep among a group of reps to attend to a customer.
- High-Quality Text-to-Speech
- PhoneHeralds text-to-speech capability generates smooth and natural sounding voices, providing high intelligibility and naturalness to end-users through sophisticated unit selection and concatenation techniques. The automatic intonation reflects the meaning of the text, with respect to pauses, breath groups, punctuation and context.
- Easy-to-use Friendly Interface
- In the spirit of the Macintosh, PhoneHerald provides a powerful yet simple user interface to deliver its capabilities. There are no complicated configuration files or programs/scripts to be written. A simple central screen provides access to browse and "drill down" into your call history, and watch the progress of ongoing calls.
- Interactive Choices for Callers
- People called by PhoneHerald can select from many choices in your main message, using the numbers on the telephone keypad to make choices, either single-digit choices, or multiple-digit choices (ending with the # button). Choices can include transferring the call to a live operator.
- Powerful To-Do List
- PhoneHerald can create and manage a To-Do List based on the results of certain calls. Calls can be set up such that certain choices available to the called person cause a To-Do to be entered. For example, a patient could request call-back if they could not make an appointment. Also, incomplete calls can become To-Dos for future follow-up.
- Email Options
- PhoneHerald can be configured to email you when certain events happen - like when someone wants a call-back, leaves a message, or if a call cannot be completed after repeated attempts. You can also opt to receive messages when a set of calls is complete.
- Scales for High-Volume Calling
- PhoneHerald makes calls as fast as your phone line permits. PhoneHerald prepares to make calls in advance and keeps extra calls ready to go all the time, so that it acts quickly to start a new call once another is complete. And PhoneHeralds support for multiple phone lines allows it to scale well for higher-volume callers. PhoneHerald can make efficient use of multiple phone lines simultaneously with a single Mac.
- Deliver Individualized Messages
- PhoneHerald can be configured to deliver individualized messages. Messages can be customized with names, numbers, dates, schedule information, book titles, medical data, or any other personal information. Custom messages can be assembled using pre-recorded sound files or recordings made on the computer with a microphone, then individual information can be "merged" in using PhoneHeralds text-to-speech capability.
- Data Import
- PhoneHerald permits data import (names, numbers, dates, fields) from standard comma- and tab-delimited text files from databases, spreadsheets and contact managers.
- Cost Effective
- PhoneHerald runs on inexpensive standard Apple Macintosh computers, such as the Mac mini and iMac. A staff member can still use the PhoneHerald Mac as their desktop computer while calls are in progress. PhoneHerald does not require the use of expensive add-on cards or special hardware. Parliant provides a USB Telephone Adapter that connects to the computer and phone line. Multiple line support simply requires the connection of additional telephone adapters, and a standard USB hub.

From the Finder you drag files and folders (multiple file formats are no problem) onto the BarbaBatch input window. Then you select one or more predefined conversion settings, or you create new settings for a conversion.
You select the output destination folder and you hit Go. For each selected conversion a folder will be created and the complete input hierarchy (sub folders and all) will be recreated in the required file format.

For each file type you can set bit rate (kbits/sec) or number of bits per word up to 64 bits. BarbaBatch offers the highest possible quality in samplerate conversion. Samplerates can range from 1000 Hz to 192 kHz. Channel processing is flexible. You can mix stereo to mono or vise versa, copy just single channels left or right, create interleaved stereo from split stereo files and vise versa.

There is a normalizer that normalizes to a user set ceiling, but also a look-ahead gating algorithm with very intuitive controls, and a look-ahead peak limiter that makes your audio blast even through the smallest of speakers.
The gate and peak limiters are built to straighten out speech, but are often used on musical material as well. Regions from Wave files, DDP IMAGE.DAT files, and Sonddesigner II files can be extracted to separate files.
You can set up the conversion so that it will convert for instance 20 seconds of audio from every input file, starting at second number 15, and creating a 1 second fade in and a 500 msec fade out. You can fade in and fade out all file types that can be input to BarbaBatch.
If you set it up to do so, BarbaBatch will try to preserve Regions, loops markers and Time Stamps and sampler information from input to output. BarbaBatch will recalculate Marker loop and region positions when regions will be extracted extracted or when s
