To configure Voice Announcement before Fax Sending
Note that in most countries, the combination
of fax and voice lines are not practiced. Therefore option of "Voice Announcement before Fax Sending" is
disabled in the Venta Fax by default. Once the
connection is realized, the program sends the fax immediately. Nevertheless, in some
countries the situation when a human answers the call and then
presses the "Start" button on the fax machine is totally normal.
"Voice
Announcement before Fax Sending" function means: once
the connection is realized, Venta Fax produce an analysis of the voice in the telephone
line. If a human answeres
the call, Venta Fax transmits a Voice Announcement into
the telephone line,
then sends a fax. Emphasize that the use of this feature is
not recommended if not assumed that a human answers the call. To activate the "Voice Announcement before Fax Sending" do the following:
1.
In
Venta Fax main window click <Settings> button.

“Program settings” window select “Fax”, then select “General”.

“Program settings” window select “Folders and Files”,
then select “Service Files”.

voice message. You can use standart file (intro1.wav) or
record your own greeting.

Click
<Apply> button to save settings.

Venta Fax & Voice
driver (VentaEngine)
The Venta
Fax & Voice application is based on a compact application, the
so-called VentaEngine. VentaEngine supports almost all
the functions to work with fax and voice, which are present in the main
application. This is an independent application, and can be used to
automate the sending and receiving of fax and voice messages. We are planning to develop and add plugins to work
with VentaEngine in the following versions of Fax Voip. To open the VentaEngine application do the following:
1.
Start
Venta Fax program.
2.
In
Windows Tray select Venta Fax icon. Right-click
on the icon to
call context menu.
3.
In
the context menu select “VentaEngine”.

With VentaEngine application
you can control fax and voice events visually (see pictures below). The first picture
illustrates the process of
“Fax Transmission”.

The next picture illustrates
the process of “Voice
Recording”.
