Recording your voice title | Toshiba Strata CS manual

About recording your voice title and voice-mail greeting _____

This chapter explains how to create your voice title, create your voice-mail greeting, and manage your greetings using the phone.

When you first begin to use Strata CS, create the following two recordings:

n

n

Your voice title (your name)

Your voice-mail greeting

You can rerecord these recordings at any time.

Note: Your Strata CS system administrator may have created these recordings for you already, but you can create new ones in your own voice.

Recording your voice title_______________________________

Your voice title is a short recording of your name only. Strata CS plays it when the following events occur:

nCallers dial your extension or are transferred to you (callers hear “Transferring to” + <voice title>).

nCallers look you up in a name search in the dial-by-name directory (callers hear “For” + <voice title> + “press 1”).

nYou call another Strata CS user (the user that you are calling hears “Call from” + <voice title>).

nYou leave a voice message for another Strata CS user (your voice title precedes the message).

If you do not record a voice title, you may be prompted to say your name when you call another Strata CS user who has call announcing turned on (see “Call announcing” on page 4-2).

Important: Your voice title can contain other information, such as your title, but it should not be a long recording or a greeting. Strata CS plays your voice title in the middle of recorded sentences, so a long voice title can cause confusion.

To record a voice title on the phone

1.Pick up the phone and press #. Log in to your account by entering <your extension> # <your password> #.

2.Press 6 2 to manage your voice title.

3.Press 1 to record a new voice title. Say your name and then press #.

For instructions on how to record a voice title in the Client, see “Recording a voice title” on page 18-2.
