repair the database.

If your tired of typing why not send audio messages instead!
My
Voice Email lets you record and send audio messages instead of ordinary
e-mail. All you need to do is speak and click, which will take less time than
typing a message. It is a friendly interface that is easy to use. Your audio
message will be compressed to mp3 format prior to sending to reduce file size
and maintain sound quality.
No need for emoticons since you can easily convey humour, laughter, and other
emotions online in voice email! The length of your voice message is unlimited
(in registered version). Voice Email is a stand alone application and does not
require any other email client. No special player is required to playback the
messages.
