Voice Recorder
The Messenger 570’s voice enunciator uses a combined lexicon of high-quality
pre-recorded phrases and phrases that you record. The recording process
utilizes the multimedia capabilities of your computer – phrases are recorded on
your PC, then uploaded to the Messenger 570. This process produces superior
results and facilitates the commissioning of multiple units.
Voice Mode Reporting
When generating an input or an output report in voice mode the Messenger 570 system will compare each point’s
label name with a list of phrase names that make up the unit’s vocabulary. If an exact match is found, then the unit
will play the voice file associated with that phrase name. Each unit is preprogrammed with a list of permanent
phrases and voice files. In addition to these permanent phrases, the user has the ability to upload custom phrases and
voice files.

Custom Voice Phrases
It is possible for the user to upload 17 different custom voice phases into the Messenger 570 system. Sixteen of
these phrases can be up to 1.11 seconds long each and are used to create custom input and output reports in voice
mode. The 17th voice file can be up to 8.88 seconds long and is used as the sign-on greeting at the beginning of a
voice mode session. Creating these voice files and uploading them is a three-step process.
