DTMF Dial displays a telephone keypad, which can be used to dial a telephone.
DTMF Dial produces DTMF tones when its keys are pressed, or it can transmit a telephone number, typed into the box, when the phone icon is clicked. The telephone handset should be placed near to the computer's loudspeaker. DTMF Dial should work with any phone, whether or not it has a tone keypad, provided the telephone exchange is tone enabled.

confirmation of the change:
Alphabetic Processing Enabled is indicated by the morse sequence KK (da di da da di da).
Alphabetic Processing Disabled is indicated by the morse sequence RR (di da di di da di).
When Alphabetic Processing is enabled, alphabetic "numbers" such as +1-800-MY-APPLE
are transformed into their equivalent digit sequences. This is done before any other number
processing described above. In this mode, the keypad keys A, B, C, D are also transformed to
the digits 2, 2, 2, 3 and generate tones corresponding to the resulting digits.
When Alphabetic Processing is disabled, the keypad keys A, B, C, D produce the special
A, B, C, D tones.
Checkbox Enable Number Processing is used to enable or disable this feature. This setting
can also be toggled by shift-clicking the phone icon.
