Sending a Voice Email
You can also send a voice message from your badge or phone to the email
address of any badge user, group, outside buddy, or address book entry. Vocera
sends your message as a .WAV sound file that is attached to a generic text
email message. The recipient can play the message by using Windows Media
Player or any other Windows utility that can play .WAV files.
For example, suppose you want to use your Vocera device to send a message
to a travelling colleague who is reachable only by email. You can send a voice
email to your colleague. His or her email reply automatically appears on your
badge as soon as it is received.
The following table shows you the commands for sending a voice message
from a Vocera device to an email address:

When you send a voice email message to a user, outside buddy, or address book
entry, the message is sent to the address stored for that person on the Vocera
server. If you send the email to a group, the message is sent to all members of
the group.
