How do I play back a voice message?

To play back the current voice message stored in the voice buffer, if such a message exists: -Windows

Press the Play button or select Play from the Control menu.

The message plays back from beginning to end. Use the Stop, Pause, Skip Backward, Skip Forward, and playback speed buttons to control playback, as well as the position slider to control position. (You can play back from a particular point by dragging the slider before pressing Play.) Adjust the speaker volume control if necessary.

There are three ways to play back a voice message stored as a file on your computer: open, drag and drop, and double-click. The file must be stored as a QUALCOMM PureVoice file (.QCP) or as an 8 kHz (16-bit) PCM Wave file (.WAV).

In each method, if a recording currently exists in the voice buffer, you are first asked if you want to discard it. Click Yes to continue. If not, click No and save the current recording.

During playback, use the playback control buttons discussed above, or the items on the Control menu. Also note: The spacebar controls operation of the current default record/playback control button, which is highlighted on your screen by a dashed box around it.
