recorded messages
Audio left behind
Recorded messages are audio communications that have been captured and stored for later playback.
The term often refers to pre-recorded announcements on phone systems: Please listen carefully as our menu options have changed.
Answering machines and voicemail also store recorded messages from callers.
The phrase can imply impersonal, automated communication—the opposite of speaking with a live person.
