Toshiba Release 4.0 manual Working with voice files, Changing the voice file format

Working with voice files

A voice file is an audio recording that is stored as a file. Strata CS stores system prompts, greetings, voice messages, and recorded conversations in voice files that you can play over your computer speakers or on the telephone. You can record voice files using the telephone.

Strata CS supports the following file formats for voice files:

n

n

.WAV

.VOX (a-law and µ-law formats)

The Strata CS Server natively uses 8-bit PCM .VOX format.

Changing the voice file format

You can change the format of your Strata CS .VOX voice files from a-law to

µ-law, or from µ-law to a-law by using the TVConvert utility. To do so:

1.Run the file TVConvert.exe in the Strata CS Server directory on the Strata CS Server computer. The default path is:

C:\Program Files\Strata CS Server\CSConvert.exe.

2.Click OK to convert all your Strata CS voice files to the other format. If the voice files are a-law, they become µ-law. If they are µ-law, they become a-law.

In most cases you will not need to use this procedure, because your voice file format will have been correctly set by your Strata CS provider.

Using the audio controls

Strata CS makes it easy to create and listen to recordings. The following controls appear in Strata CS wherever you can make a recording.
