— WHY DO I WANT IT? —

FOR DRIVERS

Get more time in your day when you check your email on the move.

Most people spend 1-2 hours in their inbox. With the help of Speaking Email during your daily drive to work, you can easily cut this time in half. Get more done, stay on top and keep a clean inbox.

Voice commands and simple gestures designed to be safe to use while driving give you the ability to archive, flag or even reply on the move.

FOR ACCESSIBILITY

Makes email easy to use for those with visual impairment, blindness, dyslexia, stroke, motor dysfunction. Designed to be used without needing to see or touch the screen, Speaking Email works as a fully voice operated email app.

Note: a sighted assistant or VoiceOver is required to sign into your email account and configure the many preferences to your liking. The rest is all voice controlled!


— HOW DOES IT WORK? —

Speaking Email reads your latest emails out loud from your inbox, one by one. Swipe left and right to play your inbox like a jukebox.

Whip through your inbox, clear clutter, flag important items and make inbox zero a reality - all while on the go.

You can interact with your email using full screen taps, swipes and voice commands.

Voice recognition needs a trigger. You choose when to pause for a command - on full screen tap, every 30 seconds, at the start/end of emails.
