Call In Studio is a virtual call-in platform designed for Internet and radio show producers. It allows anyone to virtually accept and manage calls from listeners in an easy-to-use, Web based interface. Call In Studio can be used as a plug-in to your existing Podcast or radio station setup. HOW IT WORKS
The host (or show producer) will call into the Call In Studio system over a regular phone line.
The show's audio feed is fed out through this line (so the callers can hear it) and caller audio is fed into your show through this line. Any combination of equipment and/or software can be used for this purpose. Many customers use Skype in combination with Skype's unlimited calling plan to dial into the show's host line, and then record the contents of that call or output its audio to their recording or broadcast equipment. Listeners call in via your unique call-in number that you've purchased from us. Using our Web interface, the host and/or screener of the show can see a list of all calls on hold, reject them, screen them, and/or place calls "live" on the show with the click of a mouse. Listeners to your show will be amazed that their call-in experience will feel much like that of calling a big radio station call in talk show. When calling your show, the line automatically picks up and places the call on hold. The listener will hear the audio from the show (or optionally hold music, if you desire) until he or she talks to the call screener (if you have one) and/or talks to the host. Additional Features
This following is an abbreviated list of features:
Search and find a local or toll-free number that's just right for your show. Your session can handle between 1 and 35 simultaneous callers. You control how many callers to have on "hold" at any given time (between 1 & 35). Once your lines are "full" additional callers will hear a busy signal. You may have a PIN protected "guest line" for special guests to call in and bypass the call queue. You may have one or more people screen calls for you, enter notes about the call for the host to read, etc. Make an outbound call to a guest (or guests) directly from your session and connect them to your show. When your show is offline, listeners calling your show can leave a voicemail. All telephone prompts are customizable, either by modifying our default text-to-speech prompts or uploading your custom MP3 files.
