Notes

• In the Audio message selection dialog, you can use the upper right panel to quickly navigate to one of the standard folders with audio files.
• To listen to the original wave or MP3 audio file, you can use the Preview Panel in the lower left corner of the Audio message selection dialog box. Please note that the original audio file can sound much better than the file converted to the format suitable for transmission over a telephone line.
• You can create your own audio file in any recording and sound editing program, and then convert your file using the procedure described here. For transmission via telephone line 8 kHz 16-bit Mono wave files (.wav) are used.
