It was initially designed for a single user (the name was a pun on the earlier operating system Multics). , version 6.2, an object-oriented computer telephony See CTI, VoIP and IP telephony. Computer Telephony - Computer Telephone Integration and call processing In telecommunication, the term call processing has the following meanings:
UNIX, UNIX system operating system, OS - (computer science) software that controls the execution of computer programs and may provide various services (SCO OpenServer A server operating system for the Intel platform from SCO. It is based on Unix System V Release 3.2 and includes the Motif and X Window user interfaces and standard Unix networking (TCP/IP, NFS and NIS). SCO OpenServer has optional SMP support for up to 30 processors. , UnixWare, Solaris and Digital). New features include the next generation of the OmniView Service Creation tool, simplified private labeling for OEM (Original Equipment Manufacturer) The rebranding of equipment and selling it. The term initially referred to the company that made the products (the "original" manufacturer), but eventually became widely used to refer to the organization that buys the products and requirements and enhanced fax features for manipulating faxes on- and off-line. This release gives developers added control and flexibility in the creation of high-density, scaleable IVR (Interactive Voice Response) An automated telephone information system that speaks to the caller with a combination of fixed voice menus and data extracted from databases in real time. and Enhanced Services solutions. "For almost a decade now, OmniVox for UNIX has been the leading choice for developers of medium to large computer telephony and call processing solutions worldwide", said Elhum Vahdat, vice presidentof APEX Voice Communications. "Continuing to incorporate the features developers want and need, ensures that OmniVox will remain a leading choice among developers." OmniVox 6.2 introduces the next generation of OmniView, the object-oriented, drag-and-drop Service Creation tool (applications generator) integrated in OmniVox. New features include the ability to work on multiple documents (applications) simultaneously, simplifying cross-application sharing; floating command palettes for better viewing of the entire application call flow; Snap-to Grid option for accurate alignment of icons; and Insert Text option for placing comments directly onto the call flow canvas. In addition, OmniView is now less CPU CPU in full central processing unit Principal component of a digital computer, composed of a control unit, an instruction-decoding unit, and an arithmetic-logic unit. intensive, decreasing application development time. In addition to the graphical version, OmniVox comes in a character or forms-based version. Two new options include the Forward and Back keys, which are an enhancement to the existing Next and Previous keys. The Forward key advances to the next logical record, while the Back key returns through screens already viewed in logical order. The existing Next and Previous keys move to the next or previous record simply based on the record number. With the addition of the Forward and Back keys, developers can now follow the logical flow of a call without having to be in the graphical environment. Private Labeling of OmniVox has been further simplified with Version 6.2. First, the destination directory of application files and voice files can be changed from the standard APEX directory to a customer-specified directory. Second, all occurrences of, or file names containing, APEX, Omni or OmniVox (in utilities and other programs) can be replaced with the customer"s preferred name preferred name the name amongst two or more which refer to a single disease, condition or clinical sign, which is recommended to be used generally. . And third, a different directory path can be setup specifically for voice files, providing better file management and seamless growth of applications. The fax processing capabilities of OmniVox have been enhanced with two new commands and a new utility: The Faxappend Command combines pieces of various faxes and/or ASCII text files See ASCII file. , and merges them into one fax document; The Faxcover Command generates a fax cover sheet, allowing for receiver-specific information to be inserted. Both Commands perform their functions ion-the-fly. The m_editfax Utility performs the same function as the Faxappend Command but off-line. The combination of the new commands and utility broaden the usability of OmniVox in fax applications that require rapid changes.
