Introduction: Automated Respondent System V1.0

Sometimes I just don't feel same answering the telephone set. Okay, okay... nigh of the time I really don't guardianship to reply the phone. What can I say, I'm a at work man.

For a longsighted time I've been wanting a system alike to the same that the phone company for their client baseline. Put differently, I want people WHO call Pine Tree State to receive a recorded message and so be placed on hold forever with no real hope of their call being answered.

This is the basic iteration towards the phone system of which I speak and serves as a proof of concept as I keep on to develop information technology to its utmost potential.

Future versions of this system wish suffer the shadowing features:
1. A touch tone controlled start menu
2. More reasoning pre-recorded message selection
3. A larger music selection
4. An wheeler dealer function which will play a pre-filmed substance then disconnect the predict
5. Presentable project casing


Step 1: Go Get Stuff

You will want:

1) A bluetooth headset
2) An 1/8" sound jackfruit
3) A 100K potentiometer
4) Assemblage Wire
5) An 1/8" male to male audio cable
6) A reckoner microphone
7) Service department Band (or similar)

Tools:
1) Inclined cutters
2) A bonding iron and solder
3) A multimeter
4) A hot mucilage gun
5) A marker

(Delight note that some of the golf links on this page control consort links. This does not alter the cost of the item for you. I reinvest whatever return I receive into making parvenu projects.)

Step 2: Nurse! Scalpel!

With your diagonal cutters, cautiously start cutting gone the plastic casing of your headset to expose the microphone.

Step 3: Testing... Testing...

With your multimeter, figure out which immobilize on the mike is power and which pin is ground. Place a mark connected the get on adjacent to the ground pin with your mark.

Step 4: Operate

Desolder or forcibly detach the mike (without damaging the rest of the plug-in).

Step 5: Impound Wires

Wrap the a red and black wire around the bluetooth headset and and so glue it in place making certain to go away enough room to solder the ends of the wires to the bluetooth microphone terminals.

Attach a red telegram to the concluding that the positive end of the microphone was attached to and a colored wire to the terminus that the unfavourable finish was attached to.

Step 6: Resist

Add the 100K pot in series with the colored wire loving to the headset such that the middle pin is attached to the red wire and either of the extracurricular pins is connected to the audio tab along the music jack.

In case you were curious, the audio frequency tab is the check that is not physically connected to the large metal connector in the punt of the jack. That is the prime pin.

Step 7: That's a Fact Seaman

Connect the black wire to the ground terminal on your 1/8" infectious mononucleosis jack.

Step 8: Record Music

It's important to record your ain music. This wish equal sure to make the experience more personal and more enjoyable for everyone.

To record euphony, open garage band and create a inexperienced raceway for a real instrument. Plug in your mike (if one and only is not built into your reckoner), hit criminal record and start making music.

Step 9: Please Hold

You need to get a egg-producing to talk in a grateful voice and say the followers:

"The expected wait clock to talk of the town to (your name here) is (flimsy pause) transactions. Please uphold to hold and he will answer your call in the order in which it was received."

Where it says "(your name present)" the person should obviously say your name. And where it says "(slight interruption)" you will represent inserting a number spoken in a different voice in the next step.

Step 10: Record Numbers game

It is serious that the numbers game spoken for the wait time should seem computer generated. In your best computer vox OR victimization a robot voice modulator slowly count loud from 5 to 45.

The reason for this range of numbers is that you don't need people to think they may be speaking to you with 5 proceedings nor practice you want masses to believe they will represent on hold more than 45.

Stair 11: Smash IT Up

Every which wa insert numbers game into the "Delight Hold" content into the space where your voice thespian paused.

To have a electric sander sounding message, slightly overlap the silent parts of the audio tracks and have one rapidly fade out when the other is apace attenuation in.

Erst you have inserted hold times into a number of "Delight Throw" messages, insert the please have got content every 30 - 45 seconds into your music track using the rapid fade-in and pas-out technique just described.

Below you will ascertain an mp3 of my 7-bit hold message grommet.

Step 12: Loopy

Place your audio frequency track onto an audio role player and set it to loop endlessly.

Step 13: Audio Out

Plug ane end of your 1/8" audio cable into your euphony musician and the other end into the audio jack connected to the bluetooth headset.

Measure 14: Turn It On

Devolve on the bluetooth headset and make indisputable that the potentiometer is providing 100K worth of underground to the circuit.

Step 15: Setup Phone

Frame-up phone to auto-answer with the bluetooth headset when it rings.

Gradation 16: Test Information technology!

Protrusive is every bit apiculate as hitting play. Call your telephone using another line and you in all likelihood should hear little to nothing happening the line. Very slowly turn the potentiometer until your protrude to hear music at a reasonable level. Preserve your potentiometer at this setting from keeping the bluetooth headset from being shorted.

Step 17: Never Answer Your Phone Over again

Now, if anyone calls you, they will gravel your answering system and be forced to listen to your hold message forever! Love your raw harum-scarum life cut disconnected from the outside global.
