Review

This is official description

Retrieve your fax and voice messages from any touchtone phone, plus have your email messages and faxes forwarded to you as email attachments.
You may choose to forward both incoming faxes and voice messages automatically to email addresses, or redirect them to other phone numbers.
 
The following review written by one of the Software Informer contributors applies to version 6.1

Venta Fax & Voice (Home version) is a program that puts a fax and answering machine onto your desktop. The program lets you send facsimile messages from any Windows application, by adding a printer driver to your Windows system. Then, when you send any print job to that driver, Venta Fax & Voice will open, allowing you to choose the right parameters to send the document you produced by fax. This program even allows you to send color faxes.

From within the program, you will be able to perform manual and automatic facsimile message reception and transmission, broadcast faxes, schedule the sending of faxes at a given time. The faxes can be sent with a customizable cover page, that can include information about the time it was sent, a logo and a note. You will also able to convert the incoming faxes to PDF documents. Venta Fax & Voice features V.34 Fax support.

The answering machine will pick up the phone, play a recorded message and record the incoming voice messages for you. This tool can recognize if it´s receiving a voice call, a data call or a fax, and will launch the program feature that´s right for the incoming call. You will be able to retrieve your recorded messages remotely, by using DTMF control. Your messages can be saved in several mailboxes, with different passwords.

If your phone has the caller ID service, the program can show you who´s calling on the screen. You can also define a different message for a given number. The program also allows you to record conversations, speak through the microphone and hear through the speakers (hands free), and play back text files using a built-in speech synthesis engine.

Among other features, Vista Fax & Voice send automatic notification of incoming messages by email and can attach faxes and voice messages to emails.
  • It´s a complete tool to integrate your communications with the phone.
  • None.

What's new in version 6.8

- Fixed a bug that resulted in no fax message being generated after scanning if the PDF format was selected for outgoing fax messages.

- When editing a quick search field in the Scheduler or the Phonebook, the Delete key worked incorrectly: instead of deleting a character, it generated a record deletion prompt. Fixed.

- Fixed a bug that resulted in an incorrect operation of the Tall Saver mode.

What's new in version 6.6

- Fixed the bug that occured when 'Actions after reception' and 'Actions after transmission' rules were created.
- Printing to the VentaFax “virtual printer” occasionally got blocked. Fixed.
- When creating a "Send email notification" rule in "Actions after transmission", the program could occasionally report a invalid recipient or sender address. Fixed.
- If the VentaFax Engine was started as a Windows service, redialing often didn’t work when the line was busy. Fixed.
- An "Error I/O 103" message could randomly appear in the Logbook. Fixed.
- When new messages arrived, the message counter on the fax display was not refreshed. When the executable module was working as a service, message counters were not refreshed. Fixed.
- Blocked the possibility of accidental installation of the program to the C:\ and C:\Program Files root folder.
- The context menu of the Message Manager "tree" now has a "Locate on disk" item that opens an Explorer window with the selected file.
- The Scheduler now allows you to export task states while exporting selections.
- The Scheduler now allows you to search completed tasks by a date interval.
- You can now delete records selected from phonebooks from the list of recipients when scheduling delivery tasks.
- In some situations, splitting or merging of pages containing recognized text resulted in an error. The issue has been fixed.
- When a fax message containing a cover page was re-sent, information from the "Note" field could disappear. The issue has been fixed.
- When installing the program, you can now specify whether it should create shortcuts for all users (as before) or the current user only.

- Added the "Action after transmission" option.

— A total waste of time and money
Pros: The fax works
Cons: The voice mail scripting does not work
Comment: Leonid Kluev (the owner of VentaFax) presents his software to potential buyers in such a way so as to lead them to believe that they can use it for voicemail applications akin to that used by medium size companies at the following web page: http://www.ventafax.com/multiline.html, and that hence, anyone who would want to use it for a relatively small voice mailbox application (e.g., a 3 or 4 simple verbal menus with approximately 7 mail boxes) will have no difficulty obtaining the purported results from his software. Leonid Kluev knows that the reasoning of potential buyers goes like this: “If some companies are paying up to $1299 for this software, it follows to reason that this software works”.
The FAX portion of his software works, but the voicemail portion contains numerous bugs that render it useless for anything other than very unsophisticated voicemail applications. Which you are not going to find out if you use the 30 day trial home version; because the amount of time required to write a script file for Leonid Kluev’s software for several mail boxes with multiple menus is tremendous, as you have to learn a new programming language, which no one in one’s right mind will do just to test his software for 30 days. Leonid Kluev knows this.
