Dial-in user interface
Overview
The Verba Recording System provides dial-in services to end-users for the following:
Use case | Description | Audio conversations | Video conversation |
|---|---|---|---|
Dictation | Users can record a dictation with a simple conversation. | Supported | Supported |
Ad-hoc conference | Users can add the recorder to any conference call to record it. | Supported | Supported |
Playback | Recorded conversations can be played back over the phone. | Supported | Supported |
Silent monitoring | Ongoing conversations can be listened to over the phone. | Supported | Not Supported |
Verba Dial-in Services provide audio functions for all PBXs with SIP support, however, video services are limited to certain vendors. Please contact Verba regarding the latest video recording compatibility.
Dial-in lines
The solution provides different dial-in lines with different capabilities:
recording line without prompt - recording starts immediately when the recorder answers (but asks for Recorder PIN if required)
recording line with prompt - recording starts after a prompt when the recorder answers (but asks for Recorder PIN if required)
playback line - provides playback capabilities for conversation recordings stored in the solution
advanced dial-in line - provides more advanced playback and recording capabilities
Recorder line numbers are configurable. Different customer deployments will have different recorder line numbers.
Authentication
The dial-in services lines are authenticated, functions and content are restricted based on the detected identity. Authentication uses the following procedure:
Detect the caller's phone extension
If the extension is configured in Verba and configuration allows PIN-less operation, the service progresses directly
If the extension is configured in Verba, but configuration requires PIN, the service progresses after successful PIN authentication
The recorder line does not answer if:
the caller uses a hidden number
the extension is not configured in the Verba system,
dial-in recording is not allowed for that extension
PIN-less, extension based authentication is prone to caller ID spoofing.
Use that functionality with care (e.g. for internally accessible dial-in services only).

Audio prompts
Prompts are stored in <PromptPath>\<Language>\ subdirectories.
Language is determined based on authenticated user's language property if available, otherwise based on a configured language default.
