Converting wav file for IVR prompt

[olakayode]

Pls can someone suggest a software I can use in converting my recorded prompt to the standard IVR 8khz, 8k bit rate mono wav file. The best I could do was 64kbps bit rate instead of 8kbps required by IP IVR.

Your responses will be well appreciated.

Thanks,

Kayode

You can use the software called audacity to perform the required conversion.
Thanks.

I have used Sound Forge over the past few years, 7,10 now 11.  I create templates with ccitt u-law, save file and case closed. Audacity was´nt able to do this in the right form few years back but it can now and that one is free. Do the math. 
How ever if you are the cutting and mixing guy and do this a lot or often for some reason use the one you like or prefere and somtimes that means buying the program. 

Keep rocking.

I use Switch Sound File Converter by NCH.com it does all formats quick and easy.  Great for CUCM and UCCE.

Tried the Sox thing, Tried Audacity - couldn't my audio (that I recorded with Asterisk btw) converted over to be used by Cisco.  This program was awesome and quick - prob 30 seconds finding my options.  Great suggestion!
