Abstract: The system and method of the present invention allows a customer to contact a vendor in person at a vendor's store or via a telephone or online through an internet connection to the vendor's computer for the purpose of adding a personalized voice message to a gift. The customer is directed to the vendor's computer which instructs the customer through a series of record-playback-rerecord-save commands until the customer's message is captured by the vendor's computer in a digital format. The voice message is saved in an audio file such as a .wav or .mp3 file and tagged with a unique identifier assigned by the system and associated with a unique order. The vendor can then download the audio message from the computer to a greeting card, gift, or the like using a direct connection from the computer to a small playback unit manufactured into the card, gift, or the like. The direct connection can be a USB cable, or other suitable connection between the computer and the playback device.

Abstract: An audio message recording and playback system including a recorder-imprinter device, a self-contained voice module for playback of an audio message and a number of input devices for initially recording the audio message to the recorder-imprinter device. An internet web site is established for taking orders from customers, where customer data such as billing and shipping information is obtained. The web site further includes software that permits a user to create a voice recording to be delivered along with an accompanying product such as a greeting card, gift, flowers, or an ornament. The voice recording is accessed by a proprietor who confirms the billing and delivery information, and then transfers the voice recording to a recorder-imprinter that creates a transferable voice module for incorporation into the intended delivery.
