Microphone
Click the Start Recording button. You may see a popup requesting access to use your microphone. You will need to Allow to be able to record a message.
Once you have recorded your message click the Stop button. If needed you may click the Re-Record button to record your message again.
Keyboard (TTS)
The keyboard option, also known as Text To Speech or TTS, allows you to type your message. An automated female voice will read the message you type. Please remember that this is a computer-generated voice so it may not always sound the way you expect. For example, you may enter a phone number like (555) 555-5555, and the automated voice would read this as "Five hundred and fifty-five, five hundred and fifty-five, five thousand five hundred and fifty-five." To ensure that your phone numbers are read properly please enter them one number at a time with a space between each one. Spelling names of locations phonetically helps ensure your message is understood clearly.
To create a Text To Speech message, enter your message in the text box, then click SAVE & CONTINUE.
WAV File
You can upload a .wav file from your computer by selecting the file from your desktop, clicking Open, and then click SAVE & CONTINUE. For specifications regarding the file size click here: Message Upload Specifications
