Setting Up Text To Speech to Read E-mail
Important
It is not possible to parse email without a license for TTS. Therefore it is not possible to forward
emails without a valid TTS license.
In conjunction with MAPI e-mail clients and Exchange server, TTS can be used to read new e-mails in a
user's email inbox when they access their voicemail mailbox.
This feature is supported only for Intuity mode. Users hear their new voicemail messages and then the
number of "Messages with text". Before each e-mail is spoken, details of who it is from, when the
message was sent and the size are given. This allows large or non-urgent e-mails to be skipped.
E-mail reading cannot be used for e-mails in HTML format. If HTML messages are received, all of
the code will be read out as a message.
1. Install and test Voicemail Pro for MAPI-based Voicemail Email operation with an Exchange
Server. See Voicemail Email:Overview.
2. To perform email reading, the Voicemail account created on the Exchange server for Voicemail
Email must able to access the individual users email mailboxes. This can be achieved by either:
On the Exchange Server, ensure that Voicemail user account is granted rights to access
all user email boxes, or;
Within each user's Outlook:
1. Select Tools > Options.
2. Select Delegates.
3. Add the Voicemail account as a delegate.
