Some telephony hardware manufacturers promote the use of multi-prompt files. These files contain more than one message. Such files are also called "indexed files". It is therefore important to be able to create indexed files and to modify single messages within the indexed files.
You can load an indexed file in Vox Studio, then view or edit the content of each separate message contained in the indexed file and then save the indexed file back to disk. Indexed files appear in the file tree panel as one icon for the indexed file with as many sub-icons as there are messages in the indexed file. When you click a message icon you see it in the graph panel and can edit it there. This is a very useful productivity feature.
Vox Studio also offers the ability to group several individual messages into a single indexed file or to ungroup an indexed file into its separate components.
Grouping: Any number of individual, stand-alone prompt files can be converted into one, single, larger indexed file. A script file directs this automated procedure. The prompter script file and the group and ungroup script files are all compatible with one another.
Ungrouping: Indexed files can be expanded into their individual components. A script file can optionally be produced. This script file is then compatible with the prompter script file and the group script file described above. It is thus possible to ungroup, then regroup an indexed file without having to create a script file first.
Thanks to this script file technique it is possible to rapidly record individual prompts with the prompter, group them into an indexed file, ungroup the files, rerecord one of the prompts then regroup it all to an indexed file, etc.
Vox Studio currently supports loading, editing, grouping and ungrouping for native Dialogic (vap) and NMS (vox) indexed files. You could even ungroup a file in one indexed format into its separate components, do a format conversion on the components and then regroup these in the other indexed format.
