kalos:
hello!

I really need to select the text of a telephone number in my PC and send it to my landline phone and call it

is it possible?

thanks!

4wd:
Yes - if you use a voice capable dialup modem, (old V.92 or K56Flex type).

I used to be able to do this on my old Amiga.

KynloStephen66515:
You could also use a Telesales Autodialer solution such as 'Touchstar' (Don't particularly recommend that one, just the only one I can remember the name of right now)

kalos:
is the solutions software or hardware?

4wd:
Both, you require hardware and software - unless you already have a landline phone that can be software controlled.

Don't know about the Telesales Autodialer but using a old voice capable dialup modem, (the kind you can get with jacks for a headset or handset - I've still got my old one), it's just a matter of sending the normal AT commands to the modem.

1) Capture highlighted number (AutoIt or AutoHotkey)
2) AT (modem attention - check for OK response - confirmation of serial comms)
3) ATH1 (modem offhook)
4) ATDTxxxxxxxxxx  (modem dial number from clipboard)

yak..yak..yak..

5) ATH0 (click a button onscreen to hangup modem)

Some PCI modems allow voice capability via the computer mic/speaker or a headset.
