How to make your greeting
- Pick your trade and the greeting. Voicemail, after hours, holiday, busy or a phone menu.
- Fill in your business name. And, if you have one, an emergency line. The script writes itself.
- Edit the script. If you like, and pick a voice.
- Press Make my greeting. Listen, then download the file your phone system takes: MP3 or WAV for phone apps, 8 kHz WAV or μ-law for a PBX.
Voicemail loses callers; Tether answers them. Most callers who reach voicemail hang up without leaving a message and try the next business. Tether is Moxisync’s AI receptionist: it answers every call, day and night, and books the job. See what missed calls cost you.
More audio and video tools

- Silence remover: cut the pauses and filler words out of a talking video.
- Vocal remover: an instrumental from any song, to put under a voice-over.
- Video compressor: make the finished video small enough for Discord, WhatsApp or email.
Questions
How long should a voicemail greeting be?
Aim for 15 to 30 seconds. Say who they reached, what to leave, when you will call back, and where to go if it is urgent. Every extra sentence is a chance for the caller to hang up.
Can I change the wording?
Yes. The script is filled from your details and stays editable: change anything before you press Make my greeting. Add [pause 1s] for a pause, and fix how a name is said with [Name](sounds like).
Which file format does my phone system need?
Cloud phone apps (RingCentral, Google Voice, OpenPhone/Quo, Grasshopper, Dialpad) take MP3 or WAV. Office phone systems (PBX) and Asterisk usually want an 8 kHz mono WAV, often μ-law (G.711). Download the one your system asks for; if in doubt, try MP3 first, then WAV 8 kHz.
How do I stop losing callers to voicemail?
Answer every call. Tether, Moxisync’s AI receptionist, picks up when you can’t, answers common questions, takes the details and books the job, so callers don’t go to a competitor.
