Description
Cisco Unified IP Phone keypads provide standard
key layout, which enables users to use existing or
familiar key positions (including a nib on Key 5).
Cisco Unified IP Phones provides an interface for
third-party accessibility applications such as
Tenacity accessaphone and the IPblue VTGO
508-Compliant softphone.
• Tenacity accessaphone (AAP) is an assistive
technology to the Cisco Unified IP Phones.
Through the telephony application
programming interface (TAPI) and the
computer technology integration (CTI) plug-in,
AAP enhances the ability to monitor and
control the functions of the Cisco endpoint.
Core enhancements are full access through the
keyboard and text-to-speech. AAP provides
audible notification of the incoming caller ID,
full access of call history information, status of
the phone and more. Information about
Tenacity is available at the following URL:

• IPblue Virtual Telephone/Global Office
(
VTGO) 508-compliant softphone is a
standalone software endpoint that integrates
speech application programming interface
(SAPI) and which provides audible notification
(text-to-speech) of the core functions and
features of the Cisco Unified IP Phones. VTGO
is also compatible with assistive technology.
