  Voicemail messages are now transcribed more accurately. Previously, some parts might have been missing at the beginning or end of the transcription, but these issues have now been resolved. Transcriptions are now as complete and precise as possible. However, please be aware that a small margin of error remains, particularly with complex names.

• Jan 2025

  This month, we are primarily working on the backend of our platform and other products. These updates are not directly visible but ensure that our platform and other products are as stable and secure as possible.

• December 2024

  We’ve made it even easier to manage your contacts! From now on, you can upload your Google Contacts file directly into the portal. This means faster calling via the app and Webphone, plus simpler and smarter number recognition. No more manual adding—just effortless communication at your fingertips.

• November 2024

  This month we have mainly worked on the backend of our platform and other products. These updates are not immediately visible, but ensure that our platform and other products are as stable and secure as possible. In addition, we are working on some cool upcoming updates.

• October 2024

  • Improved User Status – Previously, if you selected a desk phone as your destination in your User and made calls using your mobile app or webphone, your status would remain as ‘available’. This has changed: in these cases, your status will now correctly display as ‘busy’.

  • New Languages Available – Spanish and Portuguese language: Our platform is now available in Spanish and Portuguese, in addition to Dutch, English, German, and French. You can select the language in the settings. The mobile app and web phone will also be available in Spanish and Portuguese later on.

• September 2024

• June 2024

  • Browser extension Click-and-Call – Due to new Google Chrome guidelines, we are forced to strip down the browser extension to one that focuses entirely on Click-and-Call. The extension recognizes phone numbers in your browser, after which a call appears behind the number. Click it and your VoIP phone, webphone, mobile app or other soft client automatically dials the phone number. Features from earlier versions of the browser extension, such as Queue Status, Reachability Management and Colleague Status, are of course still available in the webphone, mobile app and portal.

• May 2024

  • Voicemail-to-text – Listening to your voicemails is not always the most efficient way to get back to the caller in question as quickly as possible. Sometimes the recorded message is hard to hear, or you have to listen to the voicemail again to make note of the information. We’ve thought of something for that: voicemail-to-text. The recorded message is automatically converted to text and sent to your e-mail, together with the sound file. Of course, this is done in a privacy-friendly way.
    Would you rather not receive a transcript? Soon you will also be able to turn this option off in the Voicemail module.
