Key | Dtmf

Despite the rise of digital interfaces, DTMF keys remain widely used in IVR (Interactive Voice Response) systems, remote control via phone lines, and even some two-factor authentication methods.

DTMF (Dual-Tone Multi-Frequency) is the technology behind the familiar keypad on telephones and many communication systems. Each DTMF key corresponds to a specific pair of frequencies—one high and one low—that are transmitted when you press a button. For example, pressing the '5' key generates tones of 770 Hz and 1336 Hz simultaneously. dtmf key

The standard DTMF keypad consists of 12 keys: digits 0–9, plus '*' (asterisk) and '#' (octothorpe). Some systems also support four additional keys: A, B, C, D. When a user presses a key, the unique frequency pair is decoded by the receiving device to determine which key was pressed, enabling actions like navigating phone menus, entering passwords, or controlling automated systems.
