[Yuri Alekseevich Gagarin, from the Vostok 1, April 12, 1961.] -----Original Message----- From: John Lennie [mailto:[log in to unmask]] Sent: Thursday, August 23, 2001 10:09 AM To: [log in to unmask] Subject: Initial Contact I'd be interested in your feedback on a service we developed. We developed a service for business travellers that allows anyone to retrieve and respond to email from any touch-tone phone in the world. Users dial an access number, enter their access # and password. Our text to speech engine reads any email. Users can then respond to the email with predefined text or record a voice reply. A voice reply is sent as an attachment with the reply. Do you think this application would be of interest to the visually impaired community. We don't have any experience marketing to this community, so I was wondering if you, or someone you know, would you be interested in learning more or getting involved? John Lennie 121 Ltd.
