Creating an Email Message with Your Voice

This section describes the process for creating an email with your voice, and shows you how to use your Vemail Address Book to more easily address messages. If you have not yet copied your address book from your computer to your Vemail software, see the previous section for instructions.

In order to create an email with your voice, first start your Vemail software on your phone and enter your Vemail PIN if prompted. You should then be on Vemail’s Main screen. See below.

  • Press 1
  • Your default email address is automatically entered as the From address. Click Ok or down to proceed.

    TIP: If you have added/linked more than one email address, you can change the From address to one of your other email addresses - click Menu and then select Pick Account
  • Type in the email address of the person to whom you want to send your message. You can type in multiple email address as long as you separate them with a semicolon. To type a semicolon click Menu and then Symbols.
  • If you have imported contacts from your computer or added contacts to your Vemail Address Book, then with your cursor in the TO, CC, or BCC fields click Menu and then select Pick Contact.
  • If you have contacts in your Vemail Address Book, then they will appear on the Pick Contact screen.
  • Press down to scroll to the contact you want, or type the first couple letters of the contact’s name to jump to it.
  • For example, if you press the 7 key three times quickly to type an “r”, the screen jumps down to the first name starting with an “r”.
  • If you then press the 6 key three times quickly to type an “o”, the screen jumps to the first name in our address book that begins with “ro”. Note: In order to search using two or more letters, the letters need to be typed within 10 seconds of each other. If you need to type letters that are on the same key, type the first letter, wait 3 seconds, and then type the second letter.
  • Once you have found the contact you want, click Select.
  • Your contact’s addresses will be displayed. Select the desired address and click Select.
  • Your message is now addressed. Click Continue to proceed.


Tips:

  • Enter addresses in the CC field to copy someone on your message.
  • Enter addresses in the BCC field to blind copy someone on your message.
  • A default Vemail Subject has been entered for you. You can keep it as-is, or use the CLR or BACK key to erase it and enter your own.
  • The next screen is the Record Voice screen. Select Start Recording. The top of the screen shows maximum recording time for your message; it varies depending on your phone’s memory. Note: You may have problems sending really long messages if your carrier’s data network is unreliable. If you experience dropped connections, try keeping your messages short.
  • Put the phone to your ear and speak your message NOW. When you are done speaking, remove the phone from your ear and click Stop. A timer shows you the length of your recorded message. For best results make sure your phone’s mouthpiece is no more than 1/2 inch from your mouth when you are speaking.
  • Congratulations, you have created your first Vemail message. Press 2 to send your message. You can also review it or re-record it.
  • If you don’t see this screen, skip to the next step. If you do see it, select from the following options. If you want your message delivered in the most convenient fashion, press 1. If you want your message delivered in the most secure fashion, press 2. If you select More Secure, your message recipient will be required to “sign in” for your message. They will either need to sign in with their Vemail User Number or PIN, or they will need to create a Vemail User Number and PIN (free). If you always want the most convenient delivery for all your messages then press 3. If you always want the most secure delivery for all your messages then press 4. To change this setting go to the Main screen, then select Settings, then Message Settings, then Message Delivery.
  • Your Vemail is being sent. The amount of time it takes depends on the length of your Vemail message, and the speed of your carrier data network.
  • Congratulations, your Vemail message has been sent successfully. Press 9 to return to the Main screen.
