A familiar voice, or a collection of moving memories?
Record-a-Message and Forever Orb preserve different kinds of moments. The first centres on a short voice recording in a Christmas keepsake; the second plays photos and videos. Choose based on the memory you want to share and how you will prepare it.
Compare media
Record-a-Message records a voice message of up to 20 seconds. A new recording replaces the previous message. Forever Orb plays photos and videos with sound transferred from a computer. It is a different workflow, rather than a longer voice recorder.
