Telephony System

Telephony system features help people get the most from telecommunication systems, enabling them to efficiently manage voice calls and control data-transfer operations. You can use TAPI to bring this efficiency to any Windows CE–based application, such as a database manager, spreadsheet, word processor, or personal information manager—in fact, any application that can benefit by sending and receiving data through the telephone network.

TAPI provides a set of tools for incorporating these features into your application:

• Connect directly to the telephone network rather than rely on a separate communication application
• Dial phone numbers automatically
• Transmit documents as files or electronic mail
• Access data from news retrieval and other information services
