[cisco-voip] Alternatives for MediaSense simple recording?

Tue Jan 12 15:11:47 EST 2021

I believe the SOX utility has a windows and MAC-OS version as well.  You
can just run it from the CLI
http://sox.sourceforge.net/
I use a text to speech program called Balabolka that utilizes it on Windows
to convert sound files to G711.
I use this app for UCCX prompts during testing. Keeps my voice off the
customers server.  :)
