Voicefeed seeks to improve voice mail

NullVoicefeed is a free mobile application that aims to improve voice mail.

It like the only way to improve the voice mail to eliminate you. But an app named "on Voicefeed," which you can customize messages for different caller makes voice jail a bit more palatable.

If you download Voicefeed, which is available free for the iPhone, all your contacts in the app appear. Their contacts can then be sorted into groups. They show first in the "all others" category, which means that they get a generic message, you can record. You can also give you and let a robot voice speak your message for you.

Then you can create your own categories, such as "Family" create "work," "Softball Team" and so on. You can record a different message for each.

But one of the nice features of Voicefeed is that when you record a voice message can not, can you give one for the robo voice to read incoming callers. So could hold your phone under the table at a meeting and give a message to your spouse, "my boss jerk expanded the meeting, are at home in about 7: 15." That is, what your spouse - and only your spouse - hear when calling.

There are also a function, which borders on creepy, called "Voicetags." If you use a typed message, the robo-voice busy, you can enter & FIRSTNAME handled in your message to caller requested the point and that is the message to confirm it - based on the name "Hi Bob." It can be a little so that some callers they greet a robot have be worrying.

Installation can be a problem, especially when you sync run some programs. MobileMe is known, that on the iPhone will cause a conflict. There is also a limit to the number of contacts, the Voicefeed treated. The company said that ideally, it should be less than 2,000, and that most users have less than 200.

Finally, if you use Voicefeed on multiple devices, it can errors, especially if you mix iPhones and androids are. An app for Android called ON address book will try to merge your lists. Of course, if you want to merge your contacts, it is not an error. It is a property.
