Best Answering Machine user guide
Enhance your device with one of the most powerful features you can imagine: an Answering
Machine based on your own smartphone. Do not waste money for your voice box anymore!
There are two views in the program: Answering machine & Message player.
You can switch between them with left and right joystick keys.
Answering machine view:

|
Here you can see answering machine status: turned off, waiting for a call, incoming call, playing
greeting message, or recording message.
In this view you can also see brief statistics for your messages, the number of unheard
messages and an approximate number of messages that can be recorded (calculated
as a ratio of free disk space to max. message size)
You can turn on and turn off the answering machine here. When the answering machine is turned on,
you can see a small indicator in the right topmost corner of the screen, which is always-on-top.
This indicator will be also visible in all applications when Answering Machine is minimized.
|
Message player view:
|
This view shows the list of messages. All unheard messages are shown in Bold font.
Messages without message file are shown in red (e.g. if message file itself was removed
with a file explorer outside of Answering Machine).
In this view you can play a message and immediately call the person who has left the message.
When the message is being played you may change its volume with joystick (left/right).
Note: for storing messages we use AMR sound format. This format is highly compressed
and best suits answering machine needs especially taking into consideration the fact
that the smartphone is limited in disk space.
You can get detailed message information here by selecting message properties.
Here you can see message status (heard, unheard), call date/time,
message duration left, total call duration, name of the caller (if his/her name
was found in your contacts), phone number (if detected), and file name
where the message is stored.
There are some more commands in advanced menu: Refresh (refreshes the list of messages),
delete message, delete all messages and pack messages. When packing all messages,
the messages without corresponding message files are deleted (they're shown in red).

Settings:

|
Answering Machine offers a wide set of options which make this application a
universal tool for call recording.
The following options can be set up:
Specify responses - this option represents a set of rules defining
which greeting message will be played to which calls.
You can set the following rules in this dialog:
- Default - this rule will be put into action if none of the active rules is used;
- Contact - you can set a separate rule for a specific contact;
- Group - a rule for a group of contacts;
- Phone - a rule for a phone number. You can use a mask for phone numbers. A match pattern can contain wildcard characters "*" and "?", where "*" matches zero or more consecutive occurrences of any character and "?" matches a single occurrence of any character.
Example:
'*77' - all numbers ending at 77;
'877*' - all numbers beginning with 877;
'12?34' - all numbers like 12034, 12134 ... 12934;
Disk for recording incoming messages
Pick up after - defines time (mm:ss) when the answering machine has to pick up the call
Max duration - defines maximum time of the incoming message. After this time answering machine hangs up automatically

Hang up - this command stops recording/playing and ends the call.
