VBASE/40 Speech Prompt Editor for Dialogic ~ Now Only $49 Vbase/40 has powerful features necessary for easy creation and maintenance of professional speech prompts for voice mail and other phone system applications. Phrases, or individual words, can be recorded, played, edited, cut and pasted, appended, and copied from one file to another. Cut and pasting allows creating phrase segments that piece together precisely in the running application. Enhanced editing functions allow any part of a prompt to be marked and played or removed. Vbase/40 is a software program that has set a standard for Indexed Play Mode in Voice Applications. We developed Vbase/40 back in 1985 as a solution for a much needed tool for creating streamlined prompts for our voice mail software, then expanding its capabilities under contract for Dialogic. Developers around the world had turned to the Vbase/40 format as a standard prompt file design. And many competing developers have used the same Vbase/40 format because they recognized the strength, power and versatility of using our indexed design. Dialogic Corporation had licensed Vbase/40 from us in the 1980's to offer a tool for the creation of speech files using their Indexed Play Mode, based on our indexed format. We have found that we have a niche with those who require and demand faster DOS based tools. VBASE/40 runs on Windows with no problem, but offers you the choice of running under DOS as well. Create your own prompt file for any application or modify prompts in our COMET Voice Mail Automated Attendant.   Features Menu selectable options to record, play, cut and paste, copy, append, move and delete Move prompts within a file or between files.

File Formats Explained Back in 1985, we designed the indexed file format to allow placing multiple VOX file speech segments into a single indexed file with the .VAP file type for our VBASE/40 speech editor, which we developed under contract for Dialogic. But Natural Microsystems (NMS) took credit for our indexed design and incorrectly renamed it back to .VOX, confusing the issue. Any sound file using the Vbase/40 indexed format ending with the file type .VAP, can be edited with Vbase/40. NMS calls their files "NMS (vox) indexed files" in order to indicate that they are indexed with multiple prompts. Their files are actually our Vbase/40 format. You can edit these files with VBASE simply by renaming it with a .VAP file type. Prior to Natural Microsystems' confusion, files with the .VOX file type were meant to be files with no header information, just the speech itself. Our design for the .VAP file format includes a header identifying the recording format, the sampling rate, and index pointers to each voice-segment and text annotation of the recording. Applications access this header information with Dialogic's Indexed Play Mode in order to correctly play the voice recordings. 238 Prompts Included Vbase/40 comes with a sample Prompt File that you can use. It is actually the same set of prompts used in our COMET Voice Mail Automated Attendant system. Version 4.3 has been released in June 2005.
