Product Description:
Dialectic is a versatile tool that unites your Mac, data, and phones (mobile, landline, & VoIP) enabling you to be more productive. It allows you to find, select & dial numbers using many devices and services. With robust dialing rules, it determines the call type (e.g., local or long-distance), transforms the number as required (adds prefixes to the number, etc.) and routes it to the appropriate phone. When dialing, it can automatically configure your system (e.g., pause iTunes, change iChat's status, etc.) and restore it when the call is done. There's also an Address Book menu providing system-wide access to your contacts. Quickly see information, copy or insert it into your current document, initiate a call or email, find addresses on a map & more. Dialectic integrates with most contact managers, databases, & other applications, has a comprehensive call log, notepad, call timer, & much, much more. With its AppleScript support it is easily integrated into your workflow.

I love the built-in support for dialing the AddressBook with Quicksilver, as well as the AddressBook plug-in, and being able to dial any phone number on a web page or email. It works beautifully with Google Voice! Very nice!!!
After installing and using it my system crashed.

I gave this a try since Tidbits recommended it. It didn’t work for me. So I quit it and trashed it. Shortly after that I rebooted and checked my system (OS-X 10.5.1) with DiskUtility. It got caught in an endless lope of reporting the same error. I rebooted; tried to repair things with the correct version of DiskWarrior and TechTool Pro. Neither could do anything with my HD. I know port hoc, ergo propter hoc is a logical fallacy, but prior to Dialectic I had had no troubles and afterward the pain to resstoring from back up a ravaged system. So I pass this on in the hopes of helping others.
