To: President
North Dakota Association of the Blind
My name is Ron Schroeder, I am the Marketing Director for
email2phone.net an Internet and technology company that offers a
versatile service that converts ordinary text emails to voice messages
and delivers them over the phone. We are soliciting your comments
because we believe that email2phone.net may constitute a powerful new
and innovative tool for the blind and visually impaired. We are also
attempting to establish a dialog with organizations such as yours to
gain feedback and possibly incorporate any special requirements that
you may suggest into future upgrades of the email2phone system and web site.
email2phone.net Service for the Blind and Visually Impaired
Through the use of assistive technologies, email2phone.net provides the
blind and visually impaired a means to utilize and participate in the
email connection without visual devices. Using computer software and
modern speech technology, email2phone.net converts ordinary text emails
into phone voice messages and delivers them to any phone, anywhere and
also provides the user with the capability to dial-in and listen to
their email voice messages. This simple concept can help overcome the
unique set of challenges faced by the blind and visually impaired and
place them 'in the loop' of communications with family and friends. To
many it can also mean a more active role in their job or organization.
Easy to set up, easy to use, and virtually maintenance free,
email2phone.net users do not need to own a computer.
How does email2phone.net work?
A user account is created with email2phone.net and an email address
similar to [log in to unmask] is assigned. Emails may be sent
directly to this address.
Users may also set the preference in their regular email service (AOL,
Yahoo, Gmail, etc.) to forward emails to [log in to unmask]
Emails that are received by email2phone.net are then converted into a
high-quality voice messages and delivered to the specified phone
number. The receiver of the email2phone.net voice message has the
option to reply to the sender.
The user may also choose to dial in to their email2phone.net account
and select the messages they want to listen to as high-quality voice
messages. An optional feature of email2phone.net, used instead of
forwarding emails from email service accounts, provides the user with
direct dial in access to unopened emails in their email service
accounts (visit the email2phone.net web site at www.email2phone.net for
a complete description of email2phone.net features).

Your comments and feedback
Much of our ability to deliver a useful, cost effective and reliable
product to the blind and visually impaired depends upon the feedback we
