Setup Information.
When you tap the 'Info'  button, you will see the screen shown above. Using the two autofill fields at the top are optional. They will save you a lot of time emailing recorded messages because the information from these fields will be automatically filled for you.
You only need to do this once - just set it and forget it.
• Your Name
Enter your name in the first field. It is used in the 'Subject:' line of the email.
For instance, the 'Subject:' line will be: 'Voice Memo from John, 08:25 AM'.
Without your name, it would just be: 'Voice Memo, 08:25 AM'.
• Email To: Autofill Address
In the second field, enter the email address that you will most often use when sending voice memos.
If you frequently send voice memos to yourself, then enter your own email address. This entry is autofilled in the 'To:' field of the email, which is a great time-saver. Note that when you are sending mail, you can easily delete the autofilled address whenever you want to send your email to a different person.
Tap the 'Done' button.
PRIVACY NOTE: Carnation Software does not use your email address for anything. In fact, we will not have any way of knowing what the address is - it is stored in a private place on your iPhone, iPad or iPod Touch.

Setting your default email account.
When you send email, it is sent from your default email account. If you only have one email account on your iPhone, iPad or iPod Touch, you don't need to worry about this setting. But if you have two or more, you may find that mail sent from Say it & Mail it is sent from a different account than you want.
You can easily change the default mail account.
This is actually a function of the Mail app.
Tap on the Settings Icon 
Then tap on "Mail, Contacts, Calendars".
Scroll down and tap on "Default Account"
Change the account to the one you want.

Tap on that field and you will notice a new field appear below called "From:"
Tap on that field and you will get a selection wheel to select the account you want to send email from.

Where can I find a list of all the emails that I have sent?
They are in the Sent folder of the Mail App.
Exit 'Say it & Mail it' and then tap on the Mail Icon to launch the Mail App. Then tap on "Mailboxes" and then "Sent".
All of the email you send with 'Say it & Mail it' are in the Sent folder because the Mail App is actually the app that sends your email. 'Say it & Mail it' just tells the Mail App what to send and who to send it to.

Long recordings. Is there a limit to the length of my voice memos?
'Say it & Mail it' does not have a time limit for your voice memos. However...
Keep in mind that you are emailing the voice memo as an attachment. For each minute of recording, your audio file will be about one megabyte.
For example, a five minute recording would be about 5 MB
There are several things to consider when sending large file attachments.
1. Can the person receiving your email receive large file attachments? If they have a Pop account, they are most likely limited to a certain file size attachment. Could be a 5 MB limit but depends on the ISP they are using. If you send it to someone with an IMAP account, the file sizes allowed are much larger. Apple's mail is IMAP. Google can be either IMAP or Pop.
2. It takes longer to send an email with a large file attachment. If you are connected to a wireless hotspot, no problem. But if you are on a slow edge connection, it could take forever.
3. If the mail fails to send, it will be in the Mail app Outbox.
Version 1.6 of 'Say it & Mail it' has an elapsed time counter so you can watch your recording time as you speak.
NOTE: Make sure you remember to stop the recording and email it before you quit. If you push the home button to exit the app before stopping the recording, you will most likely loose your recording.

Sending a voice memo to someone in your Contacts list.
First, delete the autofill email address in the 'To:' field (unless you also want to send to that person).

Tap on one of your Contacts (we will use "Magic Widgets" as an example).

Responding to an email from someone who is not in your Contacts list.
Scenario: You have just received an email from someone who is not in your Contacts list. It is from Gear Inc.
You ordered a gear from them but they need more detailed information before they can ship the part. The screenshot below shows what that email might look like in the Mail program.
Instead of hitting 'Reply' and trying to type out a long, detailed message on your virtual keyboard, you can use "Say it & Mail it" to respond. But first you need to add their email address to your Contacts list.
Here's how...
First, tap on "Gear Inc." in the 'From:' field.
Then Tap on 'Create New Contact'.
Tap 'Done'.
That was pretty easy.
Now quit out of Mail and run "Say it & Mail it."
After you prepare your voice message in "Say it & Mail it", you can select your new contact, "Gear Inc."
(see screenshots below)
NOTE: You also have the option of copying text from this email. Tap and hold on the text and then tap 'Copy". Then before you send your voice memo, you can tap and hold in the body of the email and select 'Paste'.

|
NOTE: Before sending your recorded message, this is when you can paste your previously copied text (from the email you received from Gear Inc.).

Including a picture in your email, along with your voice memo.
Tap the 'Camera' icon to include a picture, along with your voice memo. 
Tap on the 'Get it' button to select a photo from the album.
Your photo will appear in the window.
You can move the sliders to adjust the picture size and quality that will be used in your email. You can email a full resolution photo by moving the Max Size Limit slider all the way to the right.
Note that the sliders do not affect the original photo in your album.
Tap 'Done'.
You will notice that the 'Camera' icon now has a green outline around it, confirming that your picture will be used in the email. 
Now you can record your voice memo, then tap the 'Mail it' button.
NOTE: You can record your message first if you wish, and then tap the 'Camera' icon. It does not matter which order you use (camera first or recording first).
The photo remains until you clear it or quit the app. So you can keep sending the same photo and voice memo to different people if you wish. Or you can record a different voice memo and send the same picture.

Including a Google map link in your email, along with your voice memo.
Note: for your privacy, map location services will not be used until the location switch on.
Tap the 'Map' icon to include a Google map link, along with your voice memo and picture. 
Then slide the switch to the ON position.
You will see 'Waiting for Accuracy' in red text.
When the accuracy is 350 meters or better, it will say 'Ready' in green text.
It will also display a map of your location.
You can review the map to confirm that it is the correct location before sending your email.
If you wait a bit, you will usually get an accuracy of 17 meters with an iPhone.
NOTE: Smaller accuracy numbers are better. You will notice that the location is usually accurate on the map even if the accuracy numbers approach 350 meters. (The location is actually more accurate than the numbers would indicate.)
Tap 'Done'. You will notice that there is now a green outline around the 'Map' icon to indicate that the map location is ready and will be included in your email.
When someone receives your email with an iPhone, they will be able to click on the link to launch the Google map application, see your location and get directions.
When someone receives your email with a Mac or PC, they will be able to click on the link to launch their browser to see your location and get directions.
For your privacy, the location link is not included in your email unless you slide the switch to 'On'.
When you quit "Say it & Mail it", the switch will revert to 'Off' by default.
You must switch it 'On' each time you run the app.
This prevents you from inadvertently sending your location to someone by mistake.
* NOTE: The iPod Touch can only get a map location when it is connected to a wireless hotspot that is registered with SkyHook. http://www.skyhookwireless.com/howitworks/submit_ap.phpThis limitation is beyond our control (just the way the iPod Touch works).
The iPhone does not have that limitation since it uses cellular service to get the location.
|
When you tap on 'Mail it" you will see the screen above. Notice that is has the Google Map Location link, audio file and picture in the email.

Emailing a screenshot to someone, along with your voice memo.
You can take a screenshot of any screen in any application on the iPhone or iPod Touch.
For instance, I took the above screenshot from Safari while visiting www.SayitMailit.com.
Simply hold down the 'Home' button, press the 'Sleep' button, then release both after it flashes the screen and makes a camera sound.
The screenshot will be saved in your 'Camera Roll'.
Now you can send the screenshot along with your voice memo by tapping on the camera icon in "Say it & Mail it" and selecting the screenshot from the 'Camera Roll'.
