|   | Prompt Recording List | ![]() |
This is a list of prompts required for the application. The list of application-specific prompts is followed by a list of baseline prompts. They are formatted with the name of the file into which the prompt should be stored (suffixed by .ulaw). Prompts can be recorded in any format desired. But they need to be stored in u-law format: 16 bit monophonic with 8KHz sampling. The line after the prompt name provides the text of the prompt itself.
These are the application-specific prompts which need to be recorded for this application.
