Java Telephony API

Okay, let me explain to you what Java Telephony API (Application Programming Interface) is.

Have you ever called someone using a phone? Well, Java Telephony API helps computer programs to make and receive calls using a computer instead of a phone.

It's like having a pretend phone inside the computer! This pretend phone can do everything a regular phone can do - you can dial numbers, answer calls, and even send messages.

Java Telephony API helps computer programs to easily access this pretend phone inside the computer and make calls accordingly. This is very useful in businesses or organizations where they need to make many phone calls automatically without using an actual phone.

So, think of it like a tool that helps computer programs to use a pretend phone inside the computer to make and receive calls.
