In a room or session, you may hear:

• Speaking by people in the session.
  
  
• Recordings, such as music.
  
  
• Pre-defined sounds, such as <<Bell>> or <<Applause>>.
  
  
• hotComm Windows Sound Events, such as sounds that play when someone joins a room.
  
  

You can configure your computer with:

• Text-to-Speech, which uses the Microsoft Speech API to read aloud the text in your transcript.
  
  

You can record the audio in a session.

With hotComm Standard/Pro, you can create abbreviations (AE) that play speech or recordings. See Abbreviations.

Also, Professor hotComm successfully uses third-party Speech Recognition Software (SRS) to speak instead of typing to post messages. See Using Speech Recognition Software.
