PC Based Dialer for OBI + GV
ctisteve:
Does someone make a PC based dialer for the OBi using GV? I could cobble that together using an old modem on the OBI analog interface and a TAPI dialer program on my WIN 10 machine next to it, but that seems like a Rue Goldberg kludge. Theoretically, my PC can talk to the OBi since they are both on my home network. I would pay a modest amount for such a feature, but NOT a subscription charge. It must work with GV, NOT another provider. Thanks.

Google Voice has a browser based dialer included. Is that not sufficient? What else do you need?

That is like building a rocket out of old soapbox derby parts.
Simply use Google Chrome Browser or Firefox, and go here to make and receive calls: https://voice.google.com/calls

If you rather use a softphone on a PC, I'll show you how. Just ask. I use Phonerlite.

Thanks all. The Obi + GV are GREAT products. I'm familiar with and have used the dial from PC screen in GV. I should have been clearer:
1 - I want to use my POTS phone NOT my PC mike and speaker for the calls.
2 - I have used the method where GV calls me and patches in while it completes the call, and am not fond of it.
3 - I just want a way for the obi to originate the call like first party CTI. It's on the same home network as my PC. Is there a product or API to control it directly to make a call?
4 - I agree that the modem dialer is a complete kludge. Come to think of it, if I used it on my POTS line, it would also capture Caller ID to help build a directory. I know GV does that too.
So the real question is #3.
Thanks all again.
