Dictation Service
Dictation Service allows a user to dictate a letter via the telephone and send the letter as an audio file to another user to be typed up and/or transcribed.
The audio file formats supported are: Ogg Vorbis, GSM or WAVE.
To perform Dictation
| Phone Type | Steps | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Any phone |
1. Dial *34 . 2. The system will ask for a numeric dictation file name followed by the # sign. 3. After you enter the name and press the # key, the system places you in a Paused playback mode state. Refer to Dictation Commands below. |
The file name can be any string of numbers that can be dialed from the telephone set. Valid characters are 0-9 and the * keys. Be aware that this interface will not provide a list of files that have been saved. It is up to the users to establish and maintain any records of file names used. For example, the user may want to use a date followed by an account number – 20170612*12345#. So this name would be for account 12345 dictated on 2017 June 12. |
