Step1

Assess your needs. If you're going to be in the car listening to your email on your cell phone, you will need a different setup and accessories than if you plan on downloading your email to your iPod.

Step2

Check consumer ratings on websites like amazon.com. You can read reviews of many different types of software describing the ease of use and general overall rating.

Step3

Compare software features. For instance, "Listen for iPod" by SOS Aggregation Company needs only a CD-Rom drive, an iPod port and an iPod to download your email to listen to it.

Step4

Make sure your software is compatible with your current computer system. Voice email software is a fairly recent development and it might not work with an older system. You might think about upgrading your system and asking if voice email software can be bundled into the new system.

Step5

Select the type of software you want and compare prices. A great place to compare consumer products and prices is epinions.com. Some software products have in-depth reviews and descriptions to help you find the best voice email software to fit your needs.
