Sending an Email Message

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 a .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:
