Dialectic overview
Note: This app is still available for download but the developer of Dialectic has temporarily halted the distribution and sale of all of their products.
Dialectic uses Bluetooth mobile phones (including the iPhone), modems, or speakers to dial the phone. Dialectic can also make calls via dozens of VoIP providers, IP phones, softphones, and advanced telephony products such as Asterisk-based PBX. Dialectic currently supports dialing over 100 different services and devices and is extensible so adding dialing compatibility for additional services or devices can be done quickly and easily.
You can enter a number manually or you can use the integrated search tools to find numbers in your Contacts, Microsoft Outlook, Daylite, or FileMaker databases (and more). With the included extras you can select a number from virtually any location (including email messages or webpages) and instantly dial it using Dialectic! And dialing is just the start. There are dozens of additional features - far too many to list here. Try it for yourself.

It's a shame the developer does not want to keep this app going. The best utility ever for people who need to talk to other people on the telephone on a regular basis. So well thought out and so simple and effective once configured. I'd pay some more money for a refreshed version. When I dealt with engineers as a product marketing person I would have died to have a UI designer as competent as John. He just gets it.

This is a great app. Have used it for years and it's been faultless. Except for the install.
Now the challenge is install on Catalina. I know it works on Catalina, as my systems that have been running it over the years that have upgraded to catalina have continued to run Dialectic without any hassles or failure. Now that I'm installing on a fresh system I'm having trouble, so there is a way, we just need to figure it out ;)

The developers site is not directly acceptable from its URL, only displaying a message for the last 3 years that it will be back soon. Additionally when attempted to run on Catalina it launches then crashes despite repeated uninstalls and reinstalls. All this leads be to believe that unfortunately this App is now history for recent Macs.

Hi Guys!
Question... How do I Install the Plugin for calling directly from the Contacts App on Mac?
Is it a scrib or something like that?

The Dialectic site has been down for most if not all of this year. I am very concerned that it is no more. Hopefully this is not the case as it is a great and useful app. If anyone has any updates of its status it would be very much appreciated it they would post it
