Why Choose AddTapi.NET?

Easy to use without any TAPI knowledge or telephony programming experience

With AddTapi.NET you can start adding telephony features to your software without spending weeks studying complex TAPI or proprietary telephony hardware API. Unlike other TAPI controls that provide a simple wrapper for TAPI functions, AddTapi.NET does a lot of work under the hood.

100% .NET managed code

AddTapi.NET was designed for .NET from the ground up. AddTapi.NET is written entirely in C# and does not contain any legacy code. Almost all other TAPI controls use old ActiveX technology. With AddTapi.NET you get convenient classes, events and collections that look like a part of the .NET framework. Plus no more problems with ActiveX registration or incompatible DLL versions. AddTapi.NET just works!

Multi-Line Caller ID Using AddTapi.NET

// Initialize AddTapi.NET
TapiApp.Initialize("MyCallerIDApp");
// Add event handler for incoming call notifications
TapiApp.IncomingCall += OnIncomingCall;
// Open all available lines to monitor incoming calls
foreach (TapiLine line in TapiApp.Lines)
{
    line.Open(true, null);
}
...

// This method is called when a new incoming call is detected
void OnIncomingCall(object sender, TapiEventArgs args)
{
    // Display a message to the user
    Console.WriteLine("Incoming call from {0} on line {1}",
        args.Call.CallerID, args.Line.Name);
}
' Initialize AddTapi.NET
TapiApp.Initialize("MyCallerIDApp")
' Add event handler for incoming call notifications
AddHandler TapiApp.IncomingCall, AddressOf OnIncomingCall
' Open all available lines to monitor incoming calls
For Each line As TapiLine In TapiApp.Lines
    line.Open(True, Nothing)
Next
...

' This method is called when a new incoming call is detected
Private Sub OnIncomingCall(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal args As TapiEventArgs)
    ' Display a message to the user
    Console.WriteLine("Incoming call from {0} on line {1}", _
        args.Call.CallerID, args.Line.Name)
End Sub

Features

Monitor incoming and outgoing calls.

AddTapi.NET monitors incoming and outgoing calls and notifies your application when a new call is received, when a connection to the remote party is established, when a call is disconnected and so on. AddTapi.NET supplies all information needed to develop call monitoring and logging applications.

Answer incoming calls automatically or on request

AddTapi.NET can answer incoming calls automatically after specified number of rings. If you do not need to answer all incoming calls automatically, your application can receive incoming call notifications and decide whether to answer the call or not.

Support multiple lines

AddTapi.NET programming model helps you easily develop scalable applications that work well with any number of lines. You will not believe how easy it is to write multi-line applications with AddTapi.NET until you download the demo version and try it yourself.

Play audio files

AddTapi.NET can play audio files over the phone. AddTapi.NET supports all wave (.wav) files that can be played in Windows, including compressed formats for which the codecs are installed.

Obtain Caller ID and Called ID

AddTapi.NET can obtain caller's name and number on incoming calls. It can also provide called party's name and number if supported by the telephony hardware.

Speak text using TTS (Text-To-Speech) synthesis

AddTapi.NET can "speak" text over the phone using text synthesis. AddTapi.NET supports Microsoft SAPI 5.0 and can use any SAPI-compatible Text-To-Speech engine.

Make outgoing calls

Your application can make outgoing calls using AddTapi.NET. AddTapi.NET detects when a call is answered and reports if there was no answer or the number was busy.

Detect and send DTMF digits

AddTapi.NET can detect DTMF digits on the line allowing you implement touch-tone menus. AddTapi.NET makes it easy to gather a string of digits such as a pin code or an account number. With AddTapi.NET your application can generate DTMF digits to control a PBX or navigate a touch-tone menu.

Record call audio

AddTapi.NET can record audio from phone line to a wave (.wav) file. Other telephony operations such as DTMF detection can be performed while recording is in progress.

Transfer calls

AddTapi.NET can transfer calls to another extension or another number if this feature is supported by your telephony hardware.

Put calls on hold

AddTapi.NET can put calls on hold and retrieve held calls. While the call is on hold the application can use the line to make or answer other calls.

Establish and control conference calls

With AddTapi.NET your application can establish conference calls with 3 or more parties, add additional parties to a conference call and remove participants from a conference call.

Park and unpark calls

AddTapi.NET can park a call and unpark a call parked at the specified extension if this feature is supported by your telephony hardware.

Supports call forwarding

AddTapi.NET can obtain call forwarding information and configure call forwarding for the phone line/extension. Forwarding information describes when incoming calls are forwarded and the destination number(s) for call forwarding.

Detect telephony devices added/removed at runtime

AddTapi.NET detects when a new telephony device is connected or becomes available, allowing your application to work with the device right away without restarting the application. Your application is also notified when a device is removed from the system or becomes unavailable.

Use device-specific features

Many telephony systems provide access to device-specific features using TAPI extensions. With AddTapi.NET you have access to all device-specific functionality provided by the telephony system manufacturer.
