Default Voice Box announcement
All announcement files stored in the database appear in the drop-down list, see also help.enreach.com/cpe/latest.version/Administration/Swyx/en-US/#context/help/tab_files_$.
The files have the audio format "16 kHz 16 Bit PCM mono".
Click the button to search for files in a wav format on the network. After selecting a wav file, it is converted to the configured format and stored in the database.
The Windows functions used in this conversion process may degrade the audio quality. In this case, use a professional conversion program instead of Windows conversion to create WAV files in the above format.
You can record announcements, for example, via SwyxIt! Classic (menu Settings | Announcement wizard, see also help.enreach.com/cpe/latest.version/Client/Swyx/en-US/#context/help/recording_wizard_$).
