Veemail is an app for the iPhone that allows you to select an email recipient through the use of your voice. This app is very similar to other voice dialer apps, except for the fact that it only works for email. There are a few additional features to the app besides just that, but it's still rather awkward.
When you first load up the app, it will request a minute or two to go through all of your contact names. The app is basically trying to figure out how to voice recognize these names. The voice recognition features of this app are pretty decent quality and are usually accurate.

They've also built in the ability for the app to learn from its mistakes, so if it recognizes a word wrong, let it know.
After it loads it up, hold the button on the screen, say a name, and see the contacts that it pulls up. Once you've selected the right contact, it will give you the option to record a voice message and add a picture to it. Then you can send that over to your lucky contact right away.
Basically, this app adds voice recognition to email and allows you to attach a voice note. What's weird is that you can forgo adding saying the contact name out loud and just select the contacts name from a list, but you can't type out a message in this app. It's definitely a well made and interesting app, it's just not that useful.

vMail Saves Time

User rated 5/5
Review by chassett

First, full disclosure, I am an employee of the publisher of vMail (formally veemail). I just wanted to note that I think the review here misses the fundamental point of the application. vMail is a way of sending audio and picture email without having to use the keyboard (which often times is laborious and impossible, depending on the circumstance). It is most typically used by business people to leave a quick message for a colleague. Or by a parent at the playground who wants to send a photo and voice mail from their child to a family member - etc. If you have the time or inclination to type out a message, you are most likely going to use the iPhone's fully functional mail client. vMail is meant to allow you to quickly and effortlessly leave a voice mail to anyone with an email account, without requiring the use of the keyboard.
