# Recordings

Recordings are sound files that can be used for the IVR Menu (Auto Attendant). They are managed from Application -> Recordings. From there you can add, upload, rename, update, and delete recordings. If you set up speech and [transcribe](../applications/voicemail_transcription.md) recordings can created with text-to-speech or existing recordings can be transcribed.
