Show HN: mail2brain, email attachment timesaver

If mturk is the back end, you need to tell users that a human will listen to their voicemail and look at their stuff. I assumed you had voice recognition software and clever image stuff, not random humans. The privacy issues of this are horrid; at least make it obvious what will happen.

I like the visual representation of what the service does, but the images are small. The result images are essentially your product, but they're cropped too much.

Potential application: a user with a camera phone that doesn't have support for barcode reader applications (not Android, iOS, etc) but can send an email with a photo attachment could analyze a barcode with this service. But here the lack of immediacy might be an issue...

I understand these use cases, but I'm not sure the attachments related to these things are already in my email frequently enough for this to be useful.

My voicemail is on my cellphone or in Google voice (where it already has a humorous machine translation that might be good enough.) If I want to take a picture of a product, the closest camera is in my phone and there's already an Amazon app for that.

Perhaps you could de-emphasize the "attachment" part, which makes me think of files and serious emailing, and emphasize "send a picture" which I can do quickly from my phone. I know it's the same thing, but the different wordings send my brain in different directions.
