**Example Code to prompt user to record their message:**

```
<Response>
<Say>Please Record your message.</Say>
<Record maxLength="30" action="playrecording.xml"/>
</Response>
```

Once the message has been recorded it will be played back to the user.

```
<Response>
        <Say>Now listen to what you just recorded.</Say>
    <Play>http://example.com/recording.mp3</Play>
        <Say>Goodbye.</Say>
</Response>
```

Special record attribute “confirmrecording”  give the caller an option to listen to the recording and if they want they can re-record the message.

```
<Response>
<Say>Please Record your message.</Say>
<Record maxLength="30" confirmrecording ="1" action="playrecording.xml"/>
</Response>
```
