VBVoice Announce! provides a multi-windowed environment for creating and editing voice prompts for voice mail and voice response systems. It can read many different file formats and uses digital signal processing to ensure high quality prompts. The graphical environment, drag-drop features, and integration with Windows sound capabilities allow easy visualization and processing of the speech.
VBVoice Announce! works with cards designed for voice response systems, and with Windows sound cards. Using a sound card enables cost-effective high quality prompts by recording at 16 bits, either at the final sampling rate or at a higher intermediate sampling rate. Sound cards usually have extra features like an audio mixer and audio player inputs not available on voice cards. MIDI output can also be used to generate background music for prompts.
All the facilities of VBVoice Announce! are available if you do not have a Windows sound card, with the exception of real-time silence detection during record. However when recording from a voice card, this is not a requirement since compressed speech takes up much less disk space, and the recorded phrases can easily be split up into phrases later. Announce! has a single command that will remove extra silence from a list of phrases.
VBVoice Announce! has a bulk processing capability that sets it apart from other voice editors. In Announce!, if you want to add, say Echo to all your prompts, just select all the prompts in your window with two mouse clicks, and then select the Echo command. Announce! will take care to the rest. Compare this to loading in 150 files, configuring and executing the echo command for each one, and then saving each file.
