Making the best possible recordings
There are many factors to consider when recording alternative voice prompts in order to get the best results. Below is a
brief summary of the points to bear in mind, though a more detailed document is available from Codian on request.
Recording format
It is best to make each recording with the ideal settings and hence avoid any sample-rate or resolution changes. As
discussed, the ideal format is Microsoft Wave (.WAV) format, uncompressed, mono, at 16 kHz and 16-bit resolution.
If you are unable to make mono recordings, the IP VCR can convert stereo recordings.
Background noise
It is important to minimize background noise (hiss) as much as possible. This includes ambient noises such as road noise
and slamming doors etc. but also try to keep fan noise and similar to a minimum.
When played back by the IP VCR, samples with background noise are very apparent.
Consistency
If possible, record all voice prompts in one session. This will ensure that all voice and background conditions remain
constant and the recorded voice will sound similar from prompt to prompt.
