Voice Prompts
Voice prompts are text-based prompts that the scenario will play to a caller. The scenario uses integrated text-to-speech technology to read and deliver text to a caller in any supported language. Voice prompts can be managed from any scenario block that uses prompts (e.g., Play Prompt, Play-Listen, Menu, Collect Digits, etc.).
This article describes the voice prompt management options that are available in such scenario blocks.
Prompt to play
Adding, editing, and deleting voice prompts typically begins in the scenario block's properties. If there are no prompts set up for a block, the property "Prompt to play" will be blank, with the option to add a new prompt. Clicking on an existing prompt or clicking on add will bring up the Prompts list.
Prompts list
The Prompts list consists of two tabs: Prompts and Languages.
