Recording and Uploading Voice Mail Greetings
Using the Clearspan Web Portal, you can store multiple voice mail greetings. To create a voice mail
greeting, you must use an audio recorder. We recommend using Audacity, a third party audio
recording software. Any audio file that meets the following requirements can be uploaded to the
Clearspan Web Portal:
• 8000hz
• Mono (single) Sound
• 16-bit
Using Audacity for Windows or Mac
The following instructions will assist you in using Audacity. To use Audacity, you must have a
microphone connected or installed on your computer. Desktop computers typically need external
microphones; however, laptops may have built-in microphones.
You will need to download and install Audacity. Below are steps to Lynda.com, tutorials to assist
you with this process. Please note: you may need a computer administrator to enter a password to
