Start with your message.
Choose a greeting, out-of-hours message, voicemail, holiday notice or on-hold message as your starting point. Replace names, times and contact details with your own. Keep sentences short and explain what the caller can do next.
Find your sound.
Compare the voice samples, select a voice and add music if it suits the message. You can also use speech on its own. Check the pronunciation of your company name, numbers and abbreviations in a preview of your actual text.
Listen, adjust and order.
Start without an account. The free preview may contain a protective notice. Save your draft with a link or request a link by email to continue later. Review the chosen services and price before placing a binding order.
Use the file in your phone system.
Confirm the required audio format with your phone-system provider. Creating an announcement does not set up routing, office hours or voicemail recording: configure those functions separately and make a test call.
