New Voice Mail from Martin and Associates

Not everyone is accustomed to the new internet era. Email has become a part of everyone`s life, but there are people who still find the internet to be intimidating. They are not used to working with the keyboard or to surf the net, but they still want to be part of the "global village." Martin & Associates are claming that they`ve developed an Email that is so user friendly ? all you need to do is speak to it. EarMail could be the answer for these people.

The service will be available by telephone, and messages will be voiced to the user by a text-speech algorithm. The user will be able to answer the mail by speaking back into the telephone, and the software will translate the user`s voice into written text. All of this is done with no special software or technical skills, and you can use your existing e-mail account.

?It works like voicemail,? said Brian Martin, one of three Co-Founders of Martin & Associates. ?Last summer, I spent a majority of my days driving between job sites. People were asking me how I responded so quickly to their e-mail messages. Of course, I told them that it was EarMail.?
