Continue where you left off.

Use the draft link or requested email link to reopen your work. Treat project and sharing links as access to the associated content and share them only with the people who should review it.

Review before ordering.

Check your text, selected voice, music, pronunciation and chosen languages. Then review your package, additional services and billing details. Previewing does not itself place a paid order.

Check the real caller journey.

After importing the audio, make test calls during opening hours and outside them. Try every menu option, an unavailable destination and the end of a wait. The spoken promise should match what the phone system actually does.

Before you start.

Can I listen before ordering?

Yes. Start without signing up and create a free preview. It may include a protective notice. In the studio, one designated full preview is initially available; further announcements are unlocked after commissioning. You pay when you place an order.

Which languages are available?

Work in English and choose announcement languages for your callers. Create English audio directly in the generator or studio, and add French or Italian versions in the studio. For Dutch, Danish, Swedish and Finnish production, contact our team in English. We confirm suitable voices, scope and price before an order. Listen to the real language samples on this website.

Will the audio work with my phone system?

Check the audio requirements of your system: file format, sample rate, channel count and maximum duration. Routing, opening hours and keypad menus are configured separately in your phone system or by your telephony partner.

Are these AI voices?

Yes. The voice samples and announcements in the AI generator are synthetic. Listen carefully to company names, numbers and unfamiliar terms in your own preview before ordering.

Does an English interface mean English-only announcements?

No. Your working language and your callers’ language serve different purposes. A business in the Netherlands may want Dutch reception and an English version for international guests. Use the English website to plan that combination; Dutch and Nordic productions are arranged with our team, while English, French and Italian versions are available directly in the studio.

Your market. Your callers’ language.
