Recording a VAL announcement at a computer

Last Updated : Sep 29, 2016 |

Procedure

  1. At the computer, open the application that you use to record .wav files, such as Microsoft Sound Recorder.
  2. Set the recording parameters.
  3. Speak into a microphone that is connected to the computer and record the announcement.
  4. Assign a name to the .wav file, following the rules for defining announcement names on the Announcements/Audio Sources screen.

    Make sure that the resulting file name on the PC does have the .wav file extension as part of the name.

    Important:

    For the system to access this announcement file, the file name, minus the .wav file extension, must exactly match the name on the Announcements/Audio Sources screen.

  5. Play the announcement back at the computer before you transfer the file to the announcement source.
