Using speech technology from Nuance, E-mail-by-Phone leverages the robust personal information management capabilities of Audiopoint's Voice Terminal product suite. An online interface allows users to create a personal contact manager and establish service preferences and filtering rules to help eliminate spam and junk mail. Once registered, users can retrieve previously unread e-mail and listen to their messages through text-to-speech technology. Users may then respond to messages by sending a personally recorded WAV file attachment.

Most users simply don't care about where they are in a site, and they don't want to learn. Instead, users just want to advance toward their goal. Trying to teach users how a site is organized is, at best, uninteresting to the user; at worst, distracting. If a site distracts users enough, they'll abandon it altogether.
