Included with the RingCentral for Desktop is the RingCentral softphone, which enables high-quality VoIP calling and transforms your PC or Mac into a sophisticated call controller with an array of features and options.

Benefits of the softphone:

Make and answer calls on your computer.

• The softphone feature is part of the desktop app, which is included for no additional cost with all RingCentral Office^® editions.
• Plug in a headset or simply use your computer’s speakers and microphone to turn any internet-connected computer into an intelligent softphone and call controller.
• Seamless integration with company directory and RingCentral cloud; easily make a call to any of your contacts with a simple click.

Manage and control your calls.

• Intuitive interface provides you with a single view of multiple calls. Easily switch calls, mute calls, or send callers to voicemail.
• Easily park a telephone call at a virtual location and retrieve it from any other phone or softphone in your system—even a mobile device can pick up a parked call.
• Seamlessly flip an ongoing call to your desk phone, computer, or mobile device.
• Transfer a call to any phone number or extension.
• Add up to six callers into a conference call, or drop a caller at any time—without complicated button-pushing sequences.

HD voice ensures high-quality sound for your calls.

• Calls are clearer and easier to understand, and voice quality is richer than with conventional softphones.

Record calls with the softphone.

• Record a single call, or change your settings to automatically record all your calls.*
• Download recorded conversations, store them on your computer, or forward them to others for review.

Send callers text-to-speech messages in real time.

• Communicate with your callers without picking up your handset.
• Allow callers to hear a default message or type a personalized one to be transmitted via text-to-speech technology when you’re too busy to take a call.
• These options are available even while you’re participating in a web meeting or are on another call.

Intercept callers leaving messages.

• Listen to voice messages as they’re being recorded by the caller.
• Intervene when a caller is leaving a message so you can accept the call.

In addition to the softphone feature, RingCentral for Desktop offers other robust features and capabilities:

• Send faxes with cover sheets and attachments. Receive faxes and print or forward them to one or multiple recipients.
• Send and receive SMS text messages from your computer—including group messages.
• Launch RingCentral Meetings to participate in online meetings with one click.
• Launch Glip to start collaborating tasks, sharing files, and participating in group discussions with your colleagues.
