OutlookReminder Project Abstract

When I am away from my desk, the pop up appointment reminder of Microsoft Outlook is not that useful. In this situation, I want the software call my cell phone for the appointment reminders.

OutlookReminder is an Outlook COM addin that is capable of making appointment reminders over the phone by connecting to and driving Voicent Gateway to make appointment reminder phone calls.

Please note that the capability is similar to Voicent AutoReminder, another product from Voicent Communications, Inc. If you do not have Outlook, you should just use that program (free version available also).
