You can personalize each call when using an Auto Dialer with Text-to-Speech.
Called parties are much more likely to listen to your pre-recorded message
if they hear their name followed by specifics related to them.
Examples of Calls:
Example 1: "Hello, Betty, this is Oakdale Clinic calling with an important appointment reminder. You have an appointment with Dr. Smith on Wednesday, July 23rd, at 2 pm. To repeat this message, press 1, to confirm that you will be here, press 3, or to speak to someone in our office now, press 0."

names
