Changing the default voice in IVR application

Post by support »

Hi,

To change the default voice in your IVR application you would have to use the <voice> tag in all the prompts where you would want to hear that voice changed. For IVR example, if you have AT&T Natural Voices:

Code: Select all

<?xml version="1.0"?>
<vxml version="2.0">
    <form>
        <block>
            <prompt>
                <voice name="crystal">
                    Hi, I'm Crystal.
                </voice>
                <voice name="mike">
                    Hi, I'm Mike.
                </voice>
            </prompt>
        </block>
    </form>
</vxml>
The above voices assume you are running on the Plum IVR Hosting Site. If you have an onsite system and are unsure what voices are installed on your IVR system, you should e-mail support@plumvoice.com with your customer ID in the subject line to get a complete list of voices installed on your system.

So, once you are sure of what voices you have in your IVR system, you would only have to replace this line of code:

Code: Select all

<voice name="crystal">
with this line:

Code: Select all

<voice name="[insert voice name here]">
Hope this helps.

Regards,
Plum Support
