Using the DialPad in Taalk Phone
Navigate Phone Trees and IVRs During a Live Call
Taalk Phone now includes an integrated DialPad that allows agents to interact with any phone tree, IVR system, or menu prompt after a call has been connected. This enables smooth navigation of automated systems without needing a physical desk phone or external softphone.
What the DialPad Does
Once a call is answered—either inbound or outbound—Taalk Phone automatically displays a digital DialPad on-screen. Agents can press any number to respond to IVR prompts such as:
-
“Press 1 for Sales”
-
“Press 2 for Claims”
-
“Enter your account number”
-
“Press # to confirm”
Every keypress is sent as a DTMF tone, just like a traditional phone keypad.
When It Appears
The DialPad appears only after a call is connected.
Before connection, the panel is hidden to keep the interface clean and focused.
As soon as the call is live, the DialPad becomes active and responsive.

Route calls efficiently through complex menus.
