I love this, and I would pay for it.

This is a bit personal but I’ll share it. I would use this to record myself sharing items such as motivational conversations, topics that I would like to explore more deeply, or nudges to perform certain tasks that day. Let me take you through a scenario. It would call me first thing in the morning, thus wake me up, and say some motivational things that I had recorded months before (and maybe some facts about the day or other interesting items that are personal to me). I will record these months in advance so that I wouldn’t necessarily remember them (I have a terrible memory, which is partly why I want this). Hearing myself talk to myself in only the way that I know how and then having my memory jogged for whatever it is that I put on the recording would start my day off pretty well - I could also then direct myself to do certain things that are on the schedule but that I don’t do every day such as working out, taking care of certain animal responsibilities,or reminders to take care of certain family things that I only need to take care of every so often.

I used to carry a mini disc player around that I had recorded specific tracks for this same concept, and then I moved to recordings on the phone, but it’s just so clunky. I have to remember to look up the recording, name the recording in some manner that I’m going to know which ones to pick, and a little bit of surprise around having a random recording is just notThere. Ideally, this would be set up to call me and play a randomly selected recording, and then by way of voice recognition or just pressing a button it would play a randomly selected recording from a different category or grouping.

I would definitely be willing to work with you to codevelop my use case if you would be open to it. Do you have a suggested price that you are interested in getting for using it?

(and I paid for it after paying two consultants to help me, so although it is a niche market, it could be bigger than you think)

This looks nice! I've also had great luck with Email Alchemy to export over 1 million messages from over a decade of mail.
