When you have completed this process, any of your recorded conference calls will be available to your listeners 24/7. Just give them your dial in number, your access code and the voice box number for this recording.

Additional Tools
Creating a new audio file or Editing your Recorded Conference Call.
In order to do this you will need to have the following with your PC:
Many PC’s have some form or software that will allow you to record and edit audio files and all Mac’s have this application.
There are many vendors that offer these applications. To mention a couple, Sound Forge or Audacity. And some may come packaged with a microphone and headset that can be purchased from most computer stores. Audacity is available for free on the web. You can find it at http://audacity.sourceforge.net. Although these applications have varying learning curve and abilities, they will not take a great amount of effort to get working.
The beauty of recording your own audio files with your PC is that all of these applications will allow you to do things like merging two files together, or cutting out a section of recording that does not fit or even putting in background music.
These can be very powerful tools when you want to take previously recorded conference calls to put together the perfect training session. It could be as simple as clipping off the chit chat that may have taken place during the start and end of a conference call or as sophisticated as combining the best of several recorded conference calls.
For a recorded conference call
After you have downloaded the conference call recording (listed above), you would then open this file using your editing application. You can easily highlight the area that you would like to keep, leaving off the chit chat that is usually recorded at the very beginning and very end. For more information about this please go to the Using Your PC for audio recording.
This application uses the same controls as Windows, where you would be doing a simple highlight, copy and then paste into a new file. Export that file as a WAV or MP3 and then upload that to the appropriate SimpleVoiceBox or SimpleVoiceCenter.
