Cisco Unity Connection supports various shortcut keys and features that provides easy access to web applications, such as Cisco Unity Connection Administration and Web Inbox.
Following are the details on the usage of shortcut keys for Cisco Unity Connection Administration:
The administrator can use the TAB key to navigate all links, all form fields, and widgets in the sequential order. After login, when the administrator first presses the TAB key then focus comes on top of the tree labeled as Cisco Unity Connection. Then by pressing the TAB key again, the administrator can traverse all links, all form fields, and widgets.
At any time if the administrator wants to navigate to the page corresponding to the tree link, then press the 'ENTER' key after selecting the link using the TAB key.
Once focus goes to page frame, then by pressing TAB key you can traverse all visual adds on that page.
The administrator can move the focus from any of the page/form to the top of the tree by the “Ctrl+Alt+t” key. This shortcut key focuses the top tree label Cisco Unity Connection and from there you can traverse all tree links using the TAB key.
The Ctrl+Alt+t shortcut can be used at anywhere in the tree and pages to focus tree label Cisco Unity Connection.
The shortcut keys work on Windows and MAC operating system.

Other Unity Connection Features that can improve the Accessibility for the end user:
The Speech Connect feature provides a speech-enabled enhancement to the automated attendant functionality. Speech Connect uses voice-enabled directory handlers to allow both Unity Connection users and outside callers to do the following:
Speak out the name of an employee (Unity Connection user) and instantly be connected, without navigating an audio-text tree and without knowing the extension of the employee.
For easy access to employees, configure a Speech Connect speed dial on user phones.
If multiple employees have the same name or if Speech Connect does not have a perfect match for the name spoken by the caller, it presents numerous name choices for the caller and can include additional information such as the employee location or department. Speech Connect also plays the recorded name of the employee in his or her own voice, if available, making it easier for the caller to choose among multiple names.
For more information about setting up directory handlers, see the Call Management chapter.
The SpeechView feature allows you to receive voice messages in your mailbox in the form of text. When a voice message arrives, it is delivered to the mailbox of the recipient with a blank text attachment. The text attachment is updated with the transcription text when the transcription service completes the transcription. If there was a problem with the transcription, then an error message is received in the text attachment of the voice message.
Only the first 500 characters of a voice message are transcribed and the remaining message is truncated. However, the users have access to the original recording in its entirety.
SpeechView is a feature of the unified messaging solution. Therefore, the original audio version of each voice message remains available to you anytime.
A TTY prompt set, available in U.S. English (ENX) only, can be installed and used just like any other supported phone language. When the TTY prompt set is installed, the subscribers and outside callers that use TTY can call in to Unity Connection and use the same features that a hearing caller can use. However, note the following limitations:
G.711 MuLaw must be selected as the message recording and storage codec because the Unity Connection TTY prompt set is not compatible with G.729a or other message recording and storage codecs.
A dedicated phone number must be set up for use by outside callers with TTY. All greetings, prompts, and subscriber names accessible from this number must be created with the TTY prompt set.
TTY is a TUI language only. At present, there is no compatible Text to Speech (TTS) language for TTY. The TTY prompt set is also not suitable for use as a GUI language.
TTY tones are not available for use in navigating through the Unity Connection conversation. Some TTY phones do not have the capability to send DTMF tones. In this case, TTY users may need to use the phone keypad for system navigation.
Due to recording and playback limitations, the TTY prompt set cannot be used in interview handlers.
TTY phones do not display the voice names but simply playback the voice names.
Use TTY angel to display voice name as text and replace them in Unity Connection. For more information on TTY angel, see the TTY Angel Help at http://www.ciscounitytools.com/Applications/General/TTYAngel/TTYAngel.html.
To set up Unity Connection for TTY, do the following tasks.
Step 1 |
Obtain a dial-in number that will be used exclusively for outside callers with TTY to call in to Unity Connection. Set up the phone system and integration as required. |
Step 2 |
Install TTY devices for subscribers, as needed. |
Step 3 |
Install the ENX language on the Unity Connection server. |
Step 4 |
Confirm that G.711 is selected as the Unity Connection message recording and storage code. |
Step 5 |
Create a TTY subscriber template. This template will be used when creating subscriber accounts for all subscriber who will use TTY. You may also want to create a TTY class of service, on which you disable Text to Speech for these subscribers. |
Step 6 |
Create a routing rule for the TTY dial-in number. |
Step 7 |
Create an opening greeting call handler for the TTY dial-in number. |
Step 8 |
Set up additional TTY call handlers as needed. |
Step 9 |
Record greetings in TTY by using the TTY Angel, or by using the Media Player and a TTY phone as a recording and playback device. You will need to record the following greetings, as applicable: the opening greeting, additional call handler greetings, and subscriber greetings. |
Step 10 |
Test the TTY dial-in number, opening greeting, call handlers, and all subscriber devices to confirm correct operation for both incoming and outgoing TTY calls. |
