Soon, everyone will use video mails, or audio transmissions instead of text based email. According to Forrester Research:
|
"Video email will replace text messages as the online communications mechanism. Text-based email will seem as archaic as black and white TV." |
The major ISPs have recognised that people want to see and hear ‘real’ communications, as well as the written word. With the rapid expansion of faster internet connections, greater bandwidth and storage is being allocated to email account holders.
Many new developments for easy production of digital streaming audio and video files, using web cams, camcorders, microphones, telephone recording services, video phones, and other recording methods are available, along with easy to use software to create your own production.
On this page we have concentrated on using voice and video to make that personal email connection with your subscribers.

 Talking Emails
Voice emails (talking emails) provide that ‘personal’ touch that no amount of typed text can match. Just hearing your voice can make a difference to how your subscribers react to your communication, and persuade them to take the action you want.
Most computer systems today come with sound systems and software that enables users to record a simple audio file using a microphone for speech recognition, "voice over IP" phone calls, or other audio features.

You probably have all the equipment you need to record an audio file |
You can add a link inside your ezine or newsletter to an audio message on your website, and this is the ‘safest’ technique to use to ensure your subscribers don’t pick up any viruses which may be travelling the internet. You can also embed a sound file into an html email or audio postcard if the file is converted to the appropriate format.
We have produced an example of a “talking email” where the audio file has been embedded so that the message starts when you open the email.

Audio Postcards for Emails
