[Asterisk-Users] RE: Voice Prompt Info

[alspachfam at charter.net]

First of all, I generally skip messages that have the entire digest 
subject as well.  I am always thinking that it was somebody who has left 
the entire digest in their reply.  Sorry I missed the subject in my 
messages.
Second, currently the plan is to have Allison (the same person who 
recorded the rest of the prompts) record just the title of the 
department.  I think, we already have everything else needed to put 
together the prompts our selves.
I have found that I get fairly decent results editing the files together 
to make my prompts.  I know that I can just have them played one after 
another but editing them together gives me a bit more control of the timing.
If anyone has any objections to recording the files this way, please let 
me know. It just seems that it is the most flexible.  It allows you to 
say "For accounting press one" , "The accounting department is closed 
today", "You have reached the accounting department", etc...

Thanks;
James
