Accounts are containers for resources such as applications, carriers, and speech services that are used to create and manage voice applications.
In Voice Gateway, an account may represent a specific customer organization and can have multiple users associated with it.
The account owner controls what the other users can see and do within the platform,
ensuring that sensitive data and functions are kept secure.
The account owner can be a user with Service Provider and Admin scopes.
They can create more than one account and manage them.
To create an account, in the left-side menu of the Voice Gateway Self-Service Portal, select Accounts, then click Add account or +.
A user with the Account scope can view and edit only the account to which they belong.

TTS prompt caching
The Clear TTS Cache button resets the cached audio for TTS. This forces the bot to load new audio for TTS, to help to resolve TTS related issues.Call recording configuration
Call recordings can be enabled at an account or application level for debugging purposes. To enable this feature and store your calls, you must provide credentials for a bucket vendor. After a call is recorded, an admin can listen to and review recordings on the Recent calls page. Note that this feature records the entire call and cannot be managed within a Cognigy.AI Flow. If you want to control call recording in your Flow, use a Call Recording Node. This Node enables you to store and record calls; you can start, stop, and pause recordings at any point.Account level recording
