Voice Genesis ® Vemail ™ Mobile Email Reviews

Hanging on the telephone

by Matt Lake
"...I was so glad to hear about Voice Genesis's Ve-mail. It's a combination of software and a $5-a-month service that lets you pick up your e-mail via cell phone and reply to it either in the usual time-consuming way or (and this is the real kicker) by voice. Blast a quick response as if you were leaving a voice-mail message, and Voice Genesis's messaging servers kick into action. They relay an e-mail with a link to your recorded message.... Your recipient clicks the link, hears you talk...." "Voice Genesis's Ve-mail is both simple and clever. Its message server collects mail from any number of e-mail accounts (from Gmail and Yahoo to your regular Internet provider to your corporate e-mail), and delivers a scrolling list of up to 50 message subject and sender addresses."

On-the-go e-mail for cheap

by Tamara Chuang
"...I learned about Voice Genesis, a Huntington Beach company that touts a cell phone e-mail service called Vemail for about $4.99 a month. Link it to your regular e-mail accounts and then send and receive e-mails – at no extra cost. ...the best part is this isn't just for thumb-typists. You can record a voice message and e-mail it to any address. Just select "Speak e-mail" and follow the instructions. The recipient receives an e-mail that says something like "Dear so-and-so, I sent this message from my mobile phone…" Then there are three options: Click a link to listen to the audio message, click a link to see a cartoon character mouth your message, or call a number to listen to the message. You can also upload your own photo for that extra-personal touch. Verdict: I'm amazed. All this for $5 a month..."

Morphing Cell Phones into BlackBerrys

by Nikhil Hutheesing
"...carriers still haven't figured out is how to make sending and receiving e-mails from a cellphone easy. Now,...Calif.-based Voice Genesis, that has come up with a product it calls Vemail. It could be the answer. The idea is fast message review. E-mails come in and you read them. To respond quickly, you speak the response instead of trying to type a response using the tiny keys on a mobile phone. The system then records your voice and sends an e-mail to the recipient with a hyperlink. The recipient clicks on the hyperlink and hears the recording of your message. You may wonder why such a service is necessary. After all, if you don't want to type out an e-mail on your cellphone, you could just make a phone call instead and either reach the recipient or leave your own voicemail. But people don't do that. They tend not to quickly switch from one application to another--when people receive e-mail, they prefer to reply the same way rather than place a voice call back.

Postage stamp e-mail

by Matt Lake
"...for the past month I've been experimenting with a cell phone e-mail application that really does the job. Voice Genesis's Vemail is a service that aggregates your mail from any number of e-mailboxes and delivers it to your cell phone with a long scrolling list of senders and subject lines. You can scroll through up to 50 new messages and call up any urgent message quickly." "Better yet, there's a thumb-strain protector built into the program: You can reply to e-mail with voice messages. Your correspondents get a link in their reply that whisks them off to Voice Genesis servers, where they can play the reply using a regular browser and media player. They can even download the voice message, if you're in particularly good voice that day."
