Creating a Voice or Optional Text to Speech Announcement Message
Instant Notify User Manual

Text to Speech (TTS) is an optional feature and may or may not be present on
your system. If the Text to Speech option was purchased, you may type the
message you want the list members to hear when called. The text will be spoken
with a synthesized voice instead of a recorded message.
Creating a Text to Speech (TTS) message is similar to the requirements described
for a voice recording. You must first enter a Recording Name and optional
Recording Description in the Information TAB screen. Skip to the Text to
Speech TAB and type in the desired text. Click the Save button when finished.
After the TTS message has been assigned to a list, to hear the synthesized spoken
message, you must call into the Instant Notify system Telephone User Interface
menu and log in to your user area. A dial menu will present options for listening to
your TTS message and ask for the message reference number you want to listen to.
