Voicemail with Win95: no additional software required!!

Here is how you can speak and send voicemails to anyone using Windows 95.

• Open the Sound Recorder
• Edit Audio properties
• select telephone quality
• Press the record button, speak your message, max 60 seconds
• select File Save As,
• press Change
• select DSP Group TrueSpeech
• save your file into \cserve\wincim\encodeit\myvoice.wav
• you can preview the message with the play command
• close the Sound Recorder
• goto Compuserve Wincim, Create Mail, attach \encodeit\myvoice.wav
• press MIME2CIS
• Send/Recieve all mail

pretty easy!

OK, you do not have to use TrueSpeech - but look, your 30 second message only takes 30kb of storage!!! With a 28.8 modem, you can send this message 3x FASTER than real time!

Without TrueSpeech, just with telephone quality, that file would take 240kb!! If you were not carefull, and picked CD quality coding, the same file would have taken 5000kb!!
