Vemail is software that lets you record and send voice messages instead of text using ordinary email from you PC or Pocket PC.

How Vemail Works: To send a voice message with Vemail simply enter an email address and then press and hold down F6 while speaking. When you have finished recording, the message will be compressed and sent as an email automatically. Almost anyone can receive and listen to the vemail as it can be played with the standard player installed in most PCs.

Benefits of Vemail: Vemails are much faster than typing. They improve electronic communications by letting people speak rather than type. You will also find Vemails more personal because voice is much easier and natural than typed text. The software is very easy to use and in a short time you can be quickly sending Vemails where in the past you would have spent a long time typing.

~Quick messages in the office. It is faster to vemail someone than to type an email or call.
~Messages between friends. Voice vemails can be much more more personal than text.
