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 summary of the points to bear in mind.
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 MCU 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 MCU, 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.
Volume
Record prompts using a relatively constant loudness of voice. Although it may take some trial and error, the best
recordings will result from speaking loud enough that the voice is recorded loudly compared to any residual
background noise, but not so loudly that it sounds distorted when played back.
Customizing Auto Attendant and Text Overlay Font
A Cisco-supplied TrueType font is used for auto attendant and overlay text. This file is installed by default but, if it is
not present on your MCU, it is also available from the software downloads area of the Cisco website.
