If you've ever rerecorded a greeting because the dog barked, this is for you.
Shops, salons, restaurants and repair services that want to sound established on every call.
Practices that need a clear after-hours message and a careful line about emergencies or confidential details.
Reps and distributed teams who want one consistent voice across many personal lines.
Write the greeting in any of 130+ languages and the same voice reads it.
Say who the caller has reached, why you can't answer, what to leave, when you'll call back, and how to get faster help if they need it. The 24 examples on this page all follow that pattern.
Aim for 20 to 30 seconds, about 50 to 75 words. Anything longer and callers start hanging up before the tone.
Yes. Voicemail text to speech makes updates easy: change a date or your hours and generate it again in the same voice. Listen to the examples on this page without signing in to hear how they sound.
Yes. An AI voice reads your script, so you can make an AI voicemail greeting without recording anything. Start from one of the scripts on this page or paste your own. The AI voice reads the words you choose; it doesn't write them for you.
You can try this as a free voicemail greeting generator: free accounts get 120 credits a month, enough to generate and listen to about six greetings. Downloading the file to upload to your phone system takes a paid plan.
Say you're closed, give your opening hours, ask for a name and number, and promise a call-back time. If your business has emergencies, say what to do, such as who to call. Pick After hours above to start from a script.
Yes. Each example is a voicemail greeting script you can load and edit, so it works as a template for a company voicemail greeting, a work line or a single office. Change the name, hours and call-back time, then generate it.
It can voice the script. Write your auto attendant script or IVR script, such as press 1 for sales, generate the audio and upload it to your phone system. The call routing itself is set up in your phone system, not here.
Whether you're out of office for a day or on vacation for two weeks, say when you'll be back, who to contact in the meantime, and whether you're checking messages. Pick Out of office above and fill in the date and the contact.
Most business phone systems have a voicemail or greeting setting in the admin panel with an upload button. Download your greeting, upload it there and call the line to check it. If the system rejects MP3, use the 8 kHz WAV.
Many accept MP3 or standard WAV. Older systems often want 8 kHz, 16-bit mono WAV, which is the phone systems option in the download menu. Check your provider's help page if you're not sure.
Whenever your hours change, and before holidays or time away. A greeting that mentions the wrong date makes callers doubt everything else.
Skip long company histories, sales pitches and anything you can't promise, like a call back within the hour. Don't ask callers to leave confidential details if your line isn't set up for them.
It costs 5 credits per 100 characters, so a 400-character greeting is 20 credits. Free accounts get 120 credits a month, enough for about six greetings. Listening is free; downloads and commercial use come with paid plans.
Pick a script, add your details and hear it in seconds. Your first greetings are free.
