Cisco Personal Assistant
Cisco Personal Assistant streamlines communications with personal call rules, speech
recognition, an optional enhanced text-to-speech engine and productivity services for IP
phones. As an integral part of Cisco AVVID (Architecture for Voice, Video and Integrated
Data), it interoperates with Cisco CallManager and scales to meet the present and future
needs of your employees. Users can access voice mail, dial by name, and conference from
any telephone using speech recognition instead of the telephone keypad. The Web-based
and telephone user administration interfaces allow users to forward and screen calls in
advance or in real time. The phone services enable users to check e-mail, voice mail,
calendar, and personal contact information using the large, pixel-based LCD and interactive
soft keys on the Cisco IP Phone 7940 or 7960.
