This topic explains how to use the task center in the Voice Service console to send text-to-speech tasks, voice notification tasks, and voice verification code tasks with a service instance.
Usage notes
Number mode limitations: The task center supports sending tasks only by using a service instance. Regular numbers and 400 numbers are not supported.
Outbound mode limitations: Shared mode does not support sending tasks in batches. For batch operations, you must use templates configured for dedicated mode.
Verification type limitations: This feature requires enterprise real-name verification.
Procedure
You have signed up for an Alibaba Cloud account and completed enterprise real-name verification.
You have activated Voice Service.
You have applied for a service instance and associated it with a real number. For more information, see Purchase a Number.
Log on to the Voice Service console.
In the left-side navigation pane, choose .
Click Create Task and configure the following parameters.
