CallVantage Dialer - 1.3

After getting CallVantage, I felt that the missing piece was the ability to dial numbers directly from my computer. Of course, you can enter the number in the CallVantage phonebook and then use ClickToDial, but what if it's a phone number from a web page or a person in your OS X Address Book? That's why this script was born. CallVantage Dialer is an AppleScript that automates the process of dialing a number through the CallVantage website.

Once installed, the script can be used as both an Address Book Plug-In and directly from the Script Menu (or via Quicksilver, LaunchBar, or whatever).

From the Address Book, simply click the label next to the number and choose Dial with CallVantage. When run as a script, if there is a phone number on the clipboard, it will be dialed. Otherwise, you will be prompted for the phone number to dial.

To dial a number from Quicksilver:
1. Activate Quicksilver.
2. Start typing the name of the person you want to call.
3. Once they show up, press either / or the right arrow key.
4. Type hp for home phone, mp for mobile phone, etc.<
5. Press tab and type cv to select CallVantage Dialer
6. Press enter.
(This actually takes longer to explain than to use :-).

If you have Growl installed, you will receive a notification as the number is being dialed. (Growl 0.6 or later is required).

Installation instructions are in the included "Read Me First" file.
