TEST THE VOICE
DETECT APPLICATION Always test a voice detect application after you set it up. Call the system
and check that the system handles the call correctly when you say Yes
and when you remain silent.
A voice detect box uses advanced d igital sign al proce ssing tec hnolog y to
distinguish between sound and silenc e. However, because of noisy
telephone lines, background noise, or ot he r noises made by the telephone
system, the voice mail system may occ asionally react as if the caller
spoke, even if the caller remains silen t. Als o, if a c aller s pea ks ve ry so ftly,
sometimes the voice mail system may not hear the caller, and instead
reacts as if the caller remained silent.
Take these factors into account when you test the voice detect application.
Try varying the volume of your voice, and calli ng the voice mail system
from a noisy room. You may also raise or lower the number of seconds the
system waits for a spoken answ er. If you need additional assistance,
