Definition
Dual-Tone Multi-Frequency (DTMF) is the technology behind touch-tone keypad input, where pressing a number generates a specific tone. Voice systems can use DTMF for hybrid voice-and-keypad interactions.
Why it matters
DTMF lets callers input information like menu choices or account numbers via keypad alongside voice.
