Decode Phonewords

Can PhonerLite be made so it will decode phonewords?  Say I get a phone number like this: 877-THE-WORD - it's painful to have to study all the phone buttons to type in the numbers that match.   

I propose that we just paste in 877-THE-WORD and PhonerLite internally converts the letters to numbers and dials it.

I have a coding routine that can do the conversion if you want it.

The problem is that names are allowed in SIP (VoIP) too. "877-THE-WORD" is a valid username. PhonerLite can't know if you entered a vanity number or or a username containing not only digits.

Well, I don't know about how other folks use voip, but in our network we never dial by username.  Maybe there could be a configuration setting to let you choose which dial method to prefer?

PhonerLite doesn't do any number translation. What the user puts in is dialed. I don't want to change that. Sorry.
