SAN FRANCISCO -- GoldMail, a developer of voiceover messaging technology,

GoldMail is an easy-to-use messaging tool that allows customers to record their voice over visuals and text - from photos to documents to graphics to presentations - and share them through any existing email program or by posting them online to any web page or blog.

Traditional messaging tools cannot always effectively convey the true meaning a sender is trying to communicate. Text-only messages have value, but limitations like impersonal tone, misplaced emphasis, or misused words can often lead to misunderstanding. GoldMail combines voice with visuals to create messages that combine information delivered visually with the tone and emotion communicated best through the sound of the human voice.

"Voiceover messaging signals the next iteration of messaging which - in the urgency to communicate with anyone, anywhere, anytime - has become a predominantly text-based communication format lacking the true meaning and understanding that only the human voice can communicate," said Guy Longworth, CEO of GoldMail. "The clarity and emotion communicated through speech is what makes a GoldMail voiceover message resonate with people."

Customers connected to the Internet build and send GoldMail messages in the same amount of time it takes to type a conventional email. Customers first create their visual using a familiar slide-based interface which allows them to add images or documents saved on their computer, paste copied text or images from other programs or the web, or simply create text slides directly in GoldMail. Next, customers record their voice or pre-recorded sound file as they click through the slides of their message. After recording and following a short preview step where customers can listen to and see their voiceover message, their GoldMail can then be shared with others - using their own e-mail or by posting it to a web page as a link or in an embedded GoldMail player.

GoldMail is for consumer and professional customers alike. Everyday uses include photo sharing, creating greetings and e-cards, blogs, or selling online through auctions or other web postings. Fund raising, dating profiles, personal and family announcements are also great uses for GoldMail. Professional customers leverage GoldMail to network with others, enhance sales and online marketing campaigns, assist in training and tutorials, and improve internal corporate communications.

"With the explosion of multimedia on the Net and widespread broadband availability coupled with our obsession with always-on communication, GoldMail represents a great option for people to bring their messages to life through the power of their own voice," said Mr. Longworth.

Free to download, install and use, GoldMail provides five minutes of recording time per message and 1GB of storage. For customers looking for additional features and functions, often to support business or marketing efforts, GoldMail Pro provides 10 minutes of recording time per message, 2GB of storage, and additional reporting and viewing capabilities for a $9.95 monthly subscription fee. In the free version, there is a small, unobtrusive advertising component at the conclusion of each GoldMail.

With a web-based version tentatively scheduled for future product generations, GoldMail is available today through a downloadable software client (about 10MB). Both GoldMail products automatically alert customers when downloadable product upgrades are available thus ensuring customers always have the latest software features and functions.
