New Map Features Update for Say It and Mail It

A new update released by Carnation Software for its iPhone and iPod touch app Say It and Mail It, has a feature that starts recording a voice message when you shake it. It can also handle map screenshots from now on.

Say It and Mail It is a useful app for the Apple iPhone and the iPod touch that lets you email voice recordings to people (which includes yourself). If you are emailing anything to yourself, the address and subject fields are filled automatically by a default setting. The best part is that you can attach images, Google maps, videos and other content with the email.

Moreover, there are no file storage/management issues as the voice recordings aren’t really stored on your mobile device.

Carnation Software gave an instance of using Say It and Mail It to your advantage – in car parking. You can record a small voice message about the parking location, then take a picture of the car in the parking lot, set a Google map marker for that spot, and finally use Say It and Mail It to email all of this information to yourself. This way, you don’t have to spend a half hour searching for your car when you return. You just have to access your inbox, retrieve the Say It and Mail It email, and find your car.

Say It and Mail It costs $2 and runs best on the iPhone OS 3.1. iPod touch users can use it with a headset equipped with microphones. Sometime after the version 2.0, a small update to increase map information accuracy was also released.
