Getting Started 4 questions
What is VoicemailGenerator and how does it work?
VoicemailGenerator is an AI-powered voicemail greeting generator. You type your script, choose from 15 professional neural voices, optionally add background music, and receive a broadcast-ready MP3 in seconds.
The AI formats your script automatically — converting numbers, dates and abbreviations into natural spoken language — so your greeting sounds polished without any recording equipment.
Is there a free trial or preview?
Yes. You can generate and listen to a full preview of your voicemail greeting completely free. The preview includes a subtle periodic watermark tone (every 3 seconds) to indicate it is a preview version.
Purchase the file for $19 (without music) or $29 (with background music) to receive the clean, watermark-free MP3.
Do I need to create an account?
No account is required to generate or purchase a voicemail greeting. Simply visit the generator, create your greeting, and pay via PayPal. Your download link is delivered instantly.
How long does it take to generate a voicemail greeting?
Most voicemail greetings are ready within 10–25 seconds. The process has three steps:
- AI script formatting (numbers, dates, abbreviations)
- Neural voice synthesis
- Background music mix & fade (if selected)
Longer scripts or selections with background music may take slightly longer.
Writing Your Script 4 questions
What should a professional voicemail greeting say?
A great professional voicemail greeting includes:
- Your name or business name
- A polite acknowledgement that you missed the call
- Instructions — leave name, number, reason for calling
- When the caller can expect a callback
Example: "Thank you for calling Acme GmbH. You have reached our voicemail. We are currently unavailable. Please leave your name, phone number and a brief message after the tone and we will return your call within one business day."
How long should a voicemail greeting be?
Keep your voicemail greeting between 15 and 30 seconds. Shorter greetings respect the caller's time and reduce the chance they hang up. Anything over 45 seconds risks the caller disconnecting before leaving a message.
The generator allows up to 600 characters — a typical 30-second greeting is around 250–350 characters.
Does the AI modify my script?
Yes, in a helpful way. The AI automatically converts:
- Dates: "01.02." → "ersten Februar"
- Numbers: written form for natural speech
- Abbreviations: expanded to full words
Phone numbers are intentionally left unchanged so they are spoken digit by digit as callers expect.
Can I create an after-hours or out-of-office voicemail greeting?
Absolutely. VoicemailGenerator is ideal for after-hours voicemail greetings, holiday announcements, out-of-office messages, and on-hold recordings. Simply write the appropriate script and the generator handles the rest.
Voices & Audio Quality 5 questions
How many voices are available?
There are 15 neural voices to choose from — a mix of male and female voices covering multiple languages including English, German, French, Spanish, Italian, Dutch, Portuguese, Swedish, Japanese, Korean and more.
What audio format is the final file?
The purchased file is a 48 kHz stereo MP3 — the standard broadcast format accepted by virtually all phone systems, VoIP providers and PBX systems.
Can I preview the voices before purchasing?
Yes. Generate a free preview with your chosen voice to hear exactly how it will sound with your script. You can regenerate as many times as needed — previews are always free.
What background music is available?
12 royalty-free background music tracks are available across styles including Corporate, Ambient, Motivational, Office, Summer, Uplifting, Awakening and Advertising. Music fades in softly and is mixed at a low volume beneath your voice. You can preview each track in the generator before deciding.
What is the watermark tone in the preview?
The preview includes a subtle 880 Hz tone lasting 0.2 seconds every 3 seconds. This indicates you are listening to a preview version. The tone is completely removed from the purchased file — it is not present in the MP3 you upload to your phone system.
Phone System Compatibility 3 questions
Which phone systems is the MP3 compatible with?
The 48 kHz stereo MP3 works with all major systems including:
- 3CX, Sipgate, Asterisk, FreePBX
- RingCentral, Zoom Phone, Microsoft Teams Phone
- Avaya, Cisco Unified Communications
- Telekom MagentaBusiness, Vodafone Business
- Most SIP / VoIP providers
If your system requires a specific format (e.g. 8 kHz mono WAV), check your provider's documentation for a free online converter after download.
How do I upload the greeting to my phone system?
The exact steps depend on your provider, but generally:
- 3CX: Admin → Voicemail → Upload custom greeting
- Sipgate: Settings → Voicemail → Personal greeting → Upload
- FreePBX: Admin → System Recordings → Add Recording
- RingCentral: Settings → Voicemail → Greeting → Import
Most providers have a web portal where you can upload an MP3 directly. Consult your provider's help centre for step-by-step instructions.
What if my phone system requires a different audio format?
Some older systems require 8 kHz mono WAV or μ-law encoded files. You can convert the downloaded MP3 using free tools such as Audacity (desktop) or online converters like audio.online-convert.com. Select 8000 Hz, mono, WAV output to match legacy requirements.
