AudioFile was a software company that was founded in Massachusetts in 1990. It was founded under Venture Capital Investment by the Massachusetts Technology Development Corporation, and had Richard Goldhor as its chief scientist. Its chief product was TalkWorks, a program designed to allow computers equipped with an appropriate fax-modem to act as a voice mail program.

The company was bought by Delrina in October 1994, and its technology was bundled into as part of CommSuite 95.

Delrina was subsequently bought out in 1995 by Symantec, and continued its development. Its voice mail capabilities were options available to WinFax PRO 7.0, 7.5 and 8.0. Symantec later sold TalkWorks as separate products named TalkWorks PRO 2.0 (August 1998) and TalkWorks PRO 3.0 (August 1999). The last version of WinFax, version 10, did not include any TalkWorks functionality.
