IMPORTANT NOTES AND KNOWN ISSUES

Differences between the default Asterisk Set and this Scrumption Set

Standardized logic in many prompts (Option, digit)

Text on many prompts has been changed to describe the option, then give the associated digit.

Addition of upward inflection for all recorded digits:

All digit files now have an additional sister (“up”) file (indicated with an underscore (_) at the end of the file name). In string read back (e.g. phone numbers, extensions, etc.) these files can be used to convey natural sounding groupings to the user (e.g. up, up, down – up, up, up, down).

Replaced “I” with “We” or “We’re” in most instances:

Following standard telephone English convention, recorded announcers speak for the company, not themselves.

Replaced use of “PIN” with “Passcode” as security descriptor in conference application prompts.

Because the term “PIN” has been heavily targeted to telephone customers by RBOCS, AT&T and various other telephone companies as a Personal Identification Number referring to a private code that is unique to the individual, the term for a shared secret teleconference security descriptor has been re-christened to “Passcode.”

Various additional grammatical changes for clarity

Redaction and/or removal of complex and superfluous words (e.g. “Currently,” multiple instances of re-stating the same thing several times).

Changes which will be reversed in future versions

• Phonetic Numbers will be changed back to NATO phonetic alphabet (from Bell Telephone Version)
• Pink polar bear will be changed back to blue-eyed polar bear
