Application #2 - Answering
Machine and Fax Receiving
(SVPRO, SVS, SV)Scenario : I have only one
telephone line and I like to receive voice messages as well as fax
messages.
Solution : SuperVoice Single Answering Machine
Script.
How
do I do that ? After
you installed the SuperVoice software, the default script setting is the
single answering machine script.
Checking the setup:
- Make sure your phone line is connected
to your modem. SuperVoice should be
running either in foreground mode or in minimized mode.
- Call the number from another phone, for
example, your cellular phone.
- You should now see a dialog box popping
up in the lower right hand corner. After three rings (this is our
default, but you can change it to other values if you wish) SuperVoice
will answer the call and you should be able to hear the greeting.
After the greeting and a beep you can record your own message. After
you finish recording you can just hang up. Your message will be stored
in your computer.
Checking your message when you are at
the computer
- From the SuperVoice Manager, select Play
Messages from the Voice menu or click on the VoiceMsg button in the
toolbar.
- Choose an Output Device. If you choose
sound card, make sure your speaker is connected to your sound card. If
you choose modem speaker or handset, make sure your modem support the
device. Most of the modems do not support handset.
- In the Incoming Voice Messages dialog
box, select the message which you wish to hear.
- Click on the Play button to hear the
message.
Checking your voice message by phone
- Call your computer from a telephone.
SuperVoice will answer the call in 3 rings (this is our default, but
you can change it to other values if you wish).
- While it plays its initial greeting,
press # on the keypad. If you have setup your password, you
will be asked to enter the password. The first message will then begin
to play. After each message you can choose to Advance to the next
message, Replay the message, or Delete the message.
Record your own greeting:
- In the SuperVoice Manager,select Setup
from the System menu or click on the Setup button in the toolbar.
- Click on the Select Script button. You
will see the Select Script dialog box.
- In the Select Script dialog box, click
on the Answering Machine selection so that the circle next to it is
marked and has a box drawn around it.
- Click on the Select button. The Record
File dialog box will appear; it will display the text of the Answering
Machine Greeting. The default text is:
"The party you have called is away from the computer, please
leave a message at the tone."
If you wish to change the greeting, enter new text and record your new
message. Click on Done when you have finished.
- Click on Done in the Select Script and
Setup SuperVoice dialog boxes. SuperVoice will now operate as a single
answering machine.
