RECORDING
ANNOUNCEMENTS
2-8 Programming Features
Refer to MERLIN II Attendant Planning Form D for the
standard announcements. The customer may elect to
record these announcements in his or her own voice or the
voice of another employee.
When recording the announcement, the speaker should
speak clearly, use a normal tone of voice, and pause after
each route number so that when the message is played the
caller has an opportunity to hear the number he or she
needs to enter. If announcements are being transferred
from a tape recorder, make sure the volume is not set too
high.
Here is an example of how a Day announcement is
recorded:
"You have reached AT&T. (Pause) If you know the
extension of the person you are calling, please dial it now.
(Pause) For Sales, dial 1. (Pause) For Parts, dial 2.
(Pause) For Customer Service, dial 3. (Pause) Or stay on
the line for operator assistance.
