Voice Prompts
From Taridium
The voice prompt interaction allows you to upload or record custom voice prompts for use in your applications and dialplans. To access this interaction click on Configuration → Voice Prompts in the administrator's interface.
Generally you can add prompts (audio files) to ipbx in two ways:
- By uploading a Wave audio file, see uploading a prompt
- By recording it via the ipbx's built in prompt recording service, see recording a prompt.

Recording a Prompt
To record a prompt from your phone, simply enter a descriptive filename and select a channel to record from. The channel name is usually equal to your extension number SIP/[EXTENSION NO.] or IAX2/[EXTENSION NO]. So for example if you are ready to record at extension 1001 you would select SIP/1001 and enter your file name 'test' etc. Ipbx will call you and ask you to record your new voice prompt.
When finished with your recording press the pound (hash) key #

Prompts for Custom Use
To access your prompt in a custom dialplan simply prefix the name of the prompt with prompts e.g. using the BackGround or Playback applications in your dialplan:
exten => 1234,1,BackGround(prompts/myprompt)
Remember to omit the filetype when accessing the prompt directly. So if Prompts show myprompt.sln use myprompt when calling up the file.
