Voice Functions
Overview of Voice Functions
A voice modem has the capability of being able to transform
analog sound data — such as voices — into digital data that are
compatible with computers. This digitization operation is called
sampling. Once the data is in digitized form, it can be stored on
the computer's hard disk in files and be converted and
processed by specific applications. On the other hand, this
digitized data can be re-transmitted to the voice modem which
reconstructs the original sounds from it.
If most messages transit over the telephone line, the modem
user can use, according to the available equipment :
• a telephone set
• a sound card connected to a microphone and
speaker, to record and listen to messages
• the built-in
speakerphone
feature, allowing hand free
communication
Please refer to the
Installation
section page 5 for instructions on
how to set up your modem for voice functions.
These capabilities, coupled with the power of specific computer
applications, can be used for the PC to simulate either an
answering machine, voice mail or any other communications
application that processes voice data.
