Sending Voice Messages to an Email Address

You can send a voice message from your badge or phone to the email address of any badge user, group, outside buddy, or address book entry.

Vocera sends your message as a .WAV sound file that is attached to a generic text email message. The recipient can play the message by using Windows Media Player or any other Windows utility that can play .WAV files.

For example, suppose you want to use your Vocera device to send a message to a traveling colleague who is reachable only by email. You can send a voice email to your colleague. His or her email reply automatically appears on your badge as soon as it is received.

The following table shows you the commands for sending a voice message from a Vocera device to an email address:

When you send a voice email message to a user, outside buddy, or address book entry, the message is sent to the address stored for that person on the Vocera server. If you send the email to a group, the message is sent to all members of the group.

Note: If you attempt to send a message to a user who does not have an email address, the Genie notifies you and cancels the message. If you attempt to send a message to a group, and a group member does not have an email address, the Genie notifies you and asks if you want to send the message to the members who have email addresses.
