Brooktrout Technology

Brooktrout Technology, Inc. was a Needham, Massachusetts telecommunications company founded in 1984 that designed fax and voice-processing hardware and software for computer telephony integration (CTI), including the TR114 and TR1034 fax boards and the SR140 host-based (software) fax product. Its developer kit, the Brooktrout SDK, provided C/C++ APIs for building fax, voice, and unified-messaging applications. Brooktrout was acquired by Excel Switching in 2000 (forming Brooktrout Technology / Excel), and the Brooktrout product line later became part of Dialogic, which continues to ship and document the Dialogic Brooktrout SDK. The brooktrout.com domain now redirects to Dialogic; Brooktrout survives as a legacy product brand rather than an independent company, and it has no standalone modern web-API developer surface. Surfaced as a portfolio company of Battery Ventures and added to the API Evangelist network as a stub lead.

human only

Index entry only — little beyond a description and a link, and nothing machine-readable enough for an agent to act on without a human reading the site first.

Kin Score

Brooktrout Technology is tracked in the API Evangelist network. This page is the human-readable profile that sits on top of the machine-readable index we maintain at apis.io.

Every provider in the network is reduced to the same set of machine-readable artifacts — OpenAPI contracts, event specifications, GraphQL schemas, runnable collections, pricing and rate-limit signals, security posture, OAuth scopes, and the agent surfaces (MCP servers and skills) that let software drive the API on its own. We profile them because the interface is the part of a company you can actually inspect: it is a truer signal of what a provider does than any marketing page. From those artifacts we compute the Kin Score — Brooktrout Technology scores 6.8/100 (minimal), with a separate agent-readiness read of 0/100 (human only). The full breakdown is below, followed by every artifact we hold — each card links through to its machine-readable definition on apis.io.

Kin Score

This is the API Evangelist rating — a single, repeatable read computed from the artifacts on this page. Green fill is points earned; the red track is points possible, so every bar shows earned-versus-possible at a glance.

Brooktrout Technology is in the network as a tracked entity. We haven't yet indexed a public API surface for it — when one is published, the artifacts, score, and agent-readiness read will appear here automatically. The source repository is where that profile is built.
