TechWhirl (TECHWR-L) is a resource for technical writing and technical communications professionals of all experience levels and in all industries to share their experiences and acquire information.
For two decades, technical communicators have turned to TechWhirl to ask and answer questions about the always-changing world of technical communications, such as tools, skills, career paths, methodologies, and emerging industries. The TechWhirl Archives and magazine, created for, by and about technical writers, offer a wealth of knowledge to everyone with an interest in any aspect of technical communications.
For those of you who are familiar with telecom terminilogy, what's the best
way to describe a call routing system that works with DTMF? In this case,
callers can speak to the system (preferred), or press keys.
What's written here is something like "DTMF compliant, the sytem also
allows callers to dial the extention number..." But it's not like DTMF is
some kind of standard that can be complied with. BTW, this is not a
sentence intended for callers; it's in the system admin guide. I could
remove "DTMF compliant" from this particular sentence, but it's used in
other instances as well.
Apparently, I corrected this a while back, but I don't remember what I
changed it to.
Suggestions? Not about what I changed it to, about what I might write,
obviously... :O
