The Shoutpoint Voice Recorder is a tool made available by Shoutpoint. This tool is not supported by Infinite Campus and is a non-standard feature only available to districts that already use Campus Messenger with Voice.
The Shoutpoint Voice Recorder allows Campus users to record and save voice messages without recording software. These recorded messages, saved as WAV files, may then be uploaded to voice message templates existing in Campus.
