Tips on how to use Narakeet to create phone greetings https://www.narakeet.com/languages/canadian-accent-text-to-s...

  1. Write a clear phone script: "Thank you for calling the Centre for Immigrant and Community Services. Please note that our offices are closed on Monday, July 3rd, 2023, in observance of Canada Day. All of our offices will open on Tuesday, July 4th. We hope you have a wonderful and joyous celebration, and happy Canada Day!"
  2. Type the script into Narakeet, including all the punctuations and spaces. The system will pause and adjust the greeting accordingly, regardless of the language.
  3. For Mandarin greeting, please type the Chinese greeting and choose the voice: "Zhihan" (芷涵).
  4. For Cantonese greeting, please adjust the wording of the Chinese greeting to make it sound more natural in Cantonese, and then choose the voice "Pak-chi" (柏芝).
  5. For the English greeting, choose Canadian English and then select "Pamela" as the voice.
  6. Note that Narakeet is a free online tool that only allows 20 free greetings. However, this quote resets once the IP address changes.
  7. After downloading all the greetings, you can combine them using Chipchamp. Remember to leave a 0.5-second pause between each greeting.
  8. Finally, export the greeting after reviewing everything to obtain the final audio file.
  9. TIP: ChatGPT is a good tool for reviewing the clarity of the greetings.
