BuddyTalk Companion Apps and Devices

Tablet Controller

Employing an icon-based GUI, the BuddyTalk Tablet Controller allows users to manage both phone calls and the BT200 device itself in an intuitive and user friendly manner. With these GUI interfaces, the user can use the Tablet Controller to:

Configure the BuddyTalk device: claim the BuddyTalk device, bind the Tablet Controller to the BuddyTalk device, and enable/disable Alexa Start of Request and End of request sounds
See the current state of the device
Control the BuddyTalk device (e.g. set the volume, cloud mute, etc.)
Initiate calls (through the user contacts, using the call history, pressing redial, or dialing a new number using the dial pad), answer calls, or reject calls
Grant users the right to use the BuddyTalk App to access and control the BuddyTalk device

Please see BT110 Tablet Controller or BT120 Tablet Controller for details.

BuddyTalk Companion Mobile App

In addition to the Tablet Controller, the BuddyTalk product family also offers a companion smartphone app, the BuddyTalk App. Once granted access rights, the BuddyTalk app allows users to control the BuddyTalk devices and conduct voice communications using a private mode from their own smartphones. The BuddyTalk App employs similar icon-based GUI pages as those used in the BuddyTalk Tablet Controller. With these GUI interfaces, the user can:

See what the current state of the device is (e.g., on an active call, call duration, etc.)
Control the BuddyTalk device (e.g., set the volume, cloud mute, etc.)
Initiate calls (through the dialpad, Contacts, History, redial, etc.)
Switch to Private Mode for Alexa interactions (either for AVS, or Alexa for Business functionality), and 2-way voice call activities. Private mode seamlessly extends the BuddyTalk features and capabilities (both Alexa interactions and phone calls) to the user’s WiFi coverage area.
