Built-in Ai
Dialpad's built-in artificial intelligence, Dialpad Ai, harnesses machine learning, speech recognition, and natural language processing (NLP) to analyze conversations and transcribe meetings—in real time. It even helps supervisors monitor live calls at a glance by analyzing sentiment and highlighting when a call is going south or if an agent needs help.
Voicemail transcriptions
Not only does Dialpad Ai transcribe calls, it also does real-time voicemail transcriptions. Its visual voicemail functionality transcribes your messages in real time, so that even if you're stuck in a meeting and can't listen to the recording, you can still read it to see what your client or teammate said.

Why small businesses in the Canada choose Dialpad over other VoIP providers
It’s more cost-effective
A lot of VoIP service platforms offer a monthly fee per user instead of a yearly or minutes-based fee. This makes them more accessible for small businesses and easier to use than many legacy telephony systems.
Dialpad takes things one step further. Our UCaaS plans start at only $20 per user, per month and all offer unlimited calls, unlimited video meetings, and more.
If you require an international calling feature, Dialpad offers low rates for that as well.
It gives you more flexibility
Business VoIP services offer a lot more flexibility than traditional landlines and office phones. If much of your work is remote, meanwhile, UCaaS solutions like those offered by Dialpad are the way to go.
Video calling, web and chat support that you can access from anywhere, and call transcriptions and summaries are all musts for hybrid and remote businesses, and are included in the monthly cost.
It’s easy to set up
Dialpad is quick and easy to set up, even if you’re wanting to get a team member on the other side of the world up and running. There’s no need to ship them hardware such as a desk phone or even a company mobile. Your new recruits can get set up in a few clicks from anywhere, as long as they have an internet connection.
They can start calling, messaging, and attending virtual meetings, as soon as they have a licence. Setting up your new hires’ voicemail, call routing, and any other settings can all also be done online, so your hybrid team can be independent and hit the ground running.
Is it time to rethink your small business communications?
If you’re hovering on the fence between different business communication options, it might be time to weigh up what your business needs are. You might find they’ve changed since you first started, and that as your company grows, your communication needs are evolving.
Perhaps you’ve gone from a hyper-local business to having a global team, and you need to be able to communicate easily with your remote workers. Whatever your situation, it could be time to switch to VoIP—or, better still, a UCaaS platform—so you’re not reliant on more old-school landline options.
Perhaps you need unlimited video conferencing with advanced features, or the ability to easily route and forward calls. Perhaps you want to cut your reliance on an IT team and have a handy dashboard at your fingertips where you can control all of the settings. Dialpad could be the answer.
