"We have created an easy and cost effective way to have customized
recordings done quickly and with no hassle."
I thought this was rather amusing, as:
1. If you want multiple prompts recorded, you need to submit a new order
for each, which means that even prompts of a couple of words are still
charged at $12. That is NOT cost effective. You could record all your
prompts as a single order, but then you'd need to split up the prompts
yourself with audio software. That is NOT hassle free.
2. Since prompts are recorded seperately, each shows up in the shopping
cart as a separate item. There is no way to see what the requested
prompt is! We're going to have a lot of these (remember, each prompt is
different), and keeping track of them NOT hassle free.
3. From the web site "Also, you have the ability to upload your own
intonation file to ensure a personalized and professional recording
every time. ".... what the heck is an intonation file? Is it a text
file? Is it an audio recording? What format? The web site doesn't seem
to say. Lack of documentation on the web site is NOT hassle free.
4. Of course, when I called customer service, they had no clue. NOT
hassle free.
Doug.

prompt plus $175
studio setup fee. To make it truly cost effective it might be worth it
to find
other users who need prompts recorded and then you can split the setup fee.
Even
if you have dozens or hundreds of prompts the fee is what is. I think
they charge
a separate fee for each “voice talent” so if you need
prompts in
different languages you’ll have a setup fee for each
language.<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>
