How LiSA works: LiSA is a program which runs on your computer (completely independently from any email program you may use) and continually checks your email server for any new messages.
If there is a message it will then look in your Address Book to see if you have set a relationship with the sender ('important client' etc.). And then she will tell you by speaking to you: "You've got a message from an important client" for example.Have a look at the Frequently Asked Questions
Is there a money-back guarantee? Yes. If within one week of purchase you don't like LiSA or there is some technical issue which cannot be resolved, you can get all your money back.
Using AOL or Yahoo? LiSA only supports regular POP (and IMAP) email. However, izymail.com can help. They offer a service which allows you to use LiSA with AOL or Yahoo.
LiSA is not an email program. She works with your current email account and email program, but independently. She checks for messages on your server and speaks to you when new messages arrive. You will also need your email program to read your messages.

History
Ringtones started out as practical necessities to notify the user of the mobile phone of incoming calls and has grown into a chaotic orchestra of pop songs and classical dramatic scores.
Before we had mobile phones in popular use we had Star-Trek and its Communicator, something many has dreamt of. One aspect of the Communicator is the way calls are announced, instead of a beep or a symphony, the callers request to talk is sent: ‘Picard here’ or whatever. Nice and elegant and the caller does not receive any audio from the person called (one would guess for privacy reasons) until the caller taps the Communicator (no clue as to how one would cancel a call).
This elegant method first inspired a personal test where friends and colleagues were recorded announcing their call, asking me to answer. A wide range of ‘ringtones’ with ‘It’s David, answer your phone’ to just ‘It’s me! Answer!’ resulted.At the same time, we were developing and selling the Liquid Information Speaking Assistant, or LiSA which announces emails with a real human voice on Mac, Windows and Linux. A simple application, users enter their email settings, as they would with an email application and import their address book. They then assign relationships (friend, mother, colleague and so on) to their contacts. This allows LiSA to speak, for example, “You have a message from your sister” or “You have a reply from a client”. “You have an important message from an advisor” and “You have a reply to your urgent message from your boss” was also implemented, as the real voice samples (of superior quality to synthesized speech, though less flexible) were used.
The next stage was to make this process easier so we are building IamMyRintone.com where users can record their own voice (or upload audio files) for friends to send to on their phones. Once a user has recorded a voicetone and a friend has sent the voicetone to their phone, he only has to set the appropriate audio file to the contact.
