"We have created an easy and cost effective way to have customized
recordings done quickly and with no hassle."

I thought this was rather amusing, as:

1. If you want multiple prompts recorded, you need to submit a new order for
each, which means that even prompts of a couple of words are still charged
at $12. That is NOT cost effective. You could record all your prompts as a
single order, but then you'd need to split up the prompts yourself with
audio software. That is NOT hassle free.

2. Since prompts are recorded seperately, each shows up in the shopping cart
as a separate item. There is no way to see what the requested prompt is!
We're going to have a lot of these (remember, each prompt is different), and
keeping track of them NOT hassle free.

3. From the web site "Also, you have the ability to upload your own
intonation file to ensure a personalized and professional recording every
time. ".... what the heck is an intonation file? Is it a text file? Is it an
audio recording? What format? The web site doesn't seem to say. Lack of
documentation on the web site is NOT hassle free.

4. Of course, when I called customer service, they had no clue. NOT hassle
free.

Doug.

Try GM Voices.&nbsp; $6.95 per prompt plus $175 studio setup =
fee.
&nbsp;To make it truly cost effective it might be worth it to find other =
users
who need prompts recorded and then you can split the setup fee. =
&nbsp;Even if
you have dozens or hundreds of prompts the fee is what is. &nbsp;I think =
they
charge a separate fee for each &#8220;voice talent&#8221; so if you need =
prompts in
different languages you&#8217;ll have a setup fee for each =
language.<o:p></o:p>
