Fax

• Send facsimile messages from any Windows application

Fax a document from any Windows application by printing it on the VENTAFAX virtual printer that appears on your system after correct installation of the program.

• Manual and automatic facsimile message reception and transmission

Send and receive faxes manually with an established connection, or transmit a fax by dialing a phone number automatically.

• Text recognition (OCR)

The program supports text recognition (OCR) in fax messages. For text recognition, the program uses Microsoft Office Document Imaging (MODI), a third-party application that is part of the MS Office 2003/2007 packages (not included in MS Office 2010) and of free SharePoint Designer 2007 as well, and could be installed independently (see http://support.microsoft.com/kb/982760/en, Method 2). In order for text recognition to work, make sure this application is really installed. Automatic text recognition in received fax messages is available in business versions only. Manual recognition is available in all versions.

• Fax broadcasting

Send a single fax to an entire list of recipients, rather than faxing each person individually (with the Business Versions).

• Color fax support

Send and receive faxes in full color. (more >>)

• Built-in scheduler

Scheduled delivery permits delayed delivery of single messages at a specified time, convenient for transmitting mass faxes and voice messages to multiple recipients. The Home Version’s scheduler only accepts a maximum of three fax jobs, but with the Business Version the number of jobs you can schedule is unlimited.

• Customizable cover page

Create or customize cover pages using the cover page editor.

• Convert incoming faxes to PDF documents

Automatically convert incoming faxes into PDF format.

• Fax priority system

Assign a priority to each outgoing fax. If several faxes are waiting to be sent, higher priority documents will be faxed first.

• V.34 Fax (Super G3) faxing support

Ventafax is one of a handful of software products that support the high-speed (up to 33600 bps) V.34 Fax (Super G3) protocol. Tested with MultiTech V.34 fax (Super G3) modem models and RockForce multimodem boards from MainPine.

Answering machine

• Voice/Data/Fax mode recognition

When VentaFax identifies an incoming ring, it tries to detect whether it is an attempt to transmit a fax or whether it is a voice call. Either Facsimile or Voice message reception mode is enabled automatically depending on which type of call it is. In the event a data call is detected, the call can be transferred to an awaiting application, such as Window Remote Access Server.

• Remote DTMF control

Operate your answering machine remotely using tone commands, for example, to check new voice messages.

• Voice mailbox support

With VentaFax, create as many personal mailboxes as you wish (Business Version). A mailbox can be accessed using answering machine remote control commands.

• Distinctive Ring

VentaFax offers Distinctive Ring services (if supported by your modem) (more >>)

Voice

• Telephone conversation recording

Record a sound file of your telephone conversation on a hard disk.

• Speakerphone (speak on a modem)

Speak on your voice modem instead of a telephone. (Note: some modems do not support this feature.)

• Announcement prior to sending a fax

If the program detects a voice answer upon sending out a fax, a pre-recorded message can be played, for example, "Press the Start button on your fax machine now".

• Automatic registration of telephone calls

Automatic registration of telephone calls mode permits either the recording of a conversation or simply registering the start time and duration of the conversation in a log. Both incoming and outgoing calls can be registered.

• Playing back text files using a speech synthesis engine (TTS)

The program can play both pre-prepared sound files (*.WAV) and text files (*.TXT or *.MIX) via the modem on the telephone line or the computer's sound device. In the latter case what is known as 'text-to-speech' (TTS) translation takes place. (more >>)

Integration with email

• Automatic notification of incoming messages (and forwarding these messages in the Business Version) by email

The Home Version allows you to send notification of all incoming messages to a single email address. With the Business Version, you can send notification of incoming messages - and forward the messages themselves - to multiple email addresses following user-specified rules. Notification/forwarding rules can depend on the caller's phone number, fax identifier, message type (fax or voice) and the user's virtual mailbox number.

• Sending fax and voice messages as file attachments via email

Send prepared messages by email as attachments.

• Placing incoming messages to the mail program's Inbox

Place received messages in the default mail program's Inbox folder.
