Improved mailbox for gathering voice messages from the public

摘要

The voice message mailbox has a microphone (3) contacted to a recording device (4). The messages can be stored locally (12) or delivered electronically to a remote storage. The recording is initiated manually (5) or automatically by a speech sensor (11). A camera keeps a record (7) of the person depositing the message. A keyboard (8) allows entry of data complementary to the message.
