Cisco Personal Assistant
Chapter 4 Voice and IP Communications
Key Features
• Ubiquitous Access: Cisco Personal Assistant with Speech Recognition and IP Phone
Productivity Services integrate with Cisco CallManager, Cisco Unity, and Microsoft
Exchange within Cisco AVVID to streamline communications
• Automatic Speech Recognition (ASR): Speech recognition interface allows users to
utilize simple voice commands to perform tasks such as retrieval, replying, recording,
and deletion of voice messages; Entries can be dialed from personal address books or
the corporate enterprise Lightweight Directory Access Protocol (LDAP) directory;
Users can synchronize their Microsoft Exchange contact lists with their personal
address books for quick name-dialing and ad-hoc group conferencing; Access to
sensitive features such as voice mail is controlled by user authentication
• Manage Inbound and Outbound Calls (Rules-Based Routing): Using a Web interface to
create rules, users can forward and screen calls based on caller identification, time of
day, and meeting schedules; With “follow me,” a special rule that uses speech
recognition, users can forward all calls to a phone number immediately; Users can
activate sets of pre-created rules from any telephone
• CalendarView: Users can keep track of appointments right on the IP phone, directly
from the Microsoft Exchange server with no synchronization necessary. In addition,
users can choose to be notified of an upcoming event on the phone display or by pager
• MailView: Cisco Personal Assistant presents users with access to e-mail and Cisco
Unity voice-mail messages in the inboxes on the corporate messaging server. Users can
access messages from a conference room, lobby phone, or colleague’s phone, as well
as their own. Any operation performed on the messages using MailView is
automatically reflected in Microsoft Exchange and Cisco Unity; Cisco Personal
Assistant interfaces with Microsoft Exchange and IMAP 4 message stores for
MailView features.
