CallClerk facilitates the dialing of out going calls based contents you have copied into your PC's clipboard, the phone numbers of previous callers, those from a speed dial list, or the numbers you key in.

Compatibility notes: CallClerk Caller ID Software extends as much functionality as your computer's operating system, modem and phone line will allow. Maximum functionality is available when you are running Windows 8, 7, Vista or XP with a TAPI compliant voice fax modem, subscribe to a Caller ID service from your phone company, and have a
broadband (cable or DSL) internet connection. MS Outlook (32 bit) is needed to enable MS Outlook contacts and journal entry pop-ups. CallClerk also works with various limitations with non-TAPI modems and when you don't subscribe to a Caller ID service. A broadband internet connection is needed to enable call reporting via e-mail, internet reverse number lookup, TrueCNam.com call blocking,
automatic tweeting, and the web page update function. The web page update function requires you to have your own domain name and subscribe to a web hosting service, such as Lunarpages, which supports ftp uploads.
