Overview of Voice Functions

A voice modem has the capability of being able to transform analog sound data — such as voices — into digital data that are compatible with computers. This digitization operation is called sampling. Once the data is in digitized form, it can be stored on the computer's hard disk in files and be converted and processed by specific applications. On the other hand, this digitized data can be re-transmitted to the voice modem which reconstructs the original sounds from it.

If most messages transit over the telephone line, the modem user can use, according to the available equipment :

∙a telephone set

∙a sound card connected to a microphone and speaker, to record and listen to messages

∙the built-in speakerphone feature, allowing hand free communication

Please refer to the Installation section page 5 for instructions on how to set up your modem for voice functions.

These capabilities, coupled with the power of specific computer applications, can be used for the PC to simulate either an answering machine, voice mail or any other communications application that processes voice data.
