It works!

Love the ability to listen to e-mails ‘ON THE GO!’ Easy to listen while driving or walking — great conversation!
Great app and support

My goto app for getting through morning email on my commute. Simple and easy to use. Well designed and great customization. Tried others and this is by far the best. Great support too!
Not worth it
Cousin Kale
I really should be asking for a refund since this app never worked properly. Also just found out that Siri has a talking email function, so this app is basically useless even if it did work. Just click on Siri and say "read email" or while reading an email click on Siri and say "read this email." Don't know how long this functionality has existed in the iOS but very happy that it's finally integrated into the phone. Don't waste your time with this app, just use Siri.
Great app

I was able to find just three apps in Apple Store that read emails out loud. Only two that connect to Exchange. This app is the best - clean design, easy to set up and simple to use. In most cases it doesn't read the entire thread, just the latest reply. It's a very nice feature. Over time I will probably develop a wish list. I'll share it with the developers. But for now I just enjoy the app. I listen to the emails accumulated overnight while driving to work. Saves me at least 1/2 hour in the morning.
Not working

Great App!

I would give this E-mail app 5 stars. I use it everyday and it is extremely accessible for me to use as a blind individual. I would recommend people to try out this wonderful app. I am looking forward to seeing this app grow and change with future updates! Keep up the awesome work Developers of this app!
Great app

I receive 250 emails a day on a good day. All work related. I used to spend the first hour at work reading emails. Now I just listen to them while driving to work. I do the same while driving back home - listen to the emails that accumulated in the last 2-3 hours. Most of my emails don't need a reply. But if I need to reply, I just "Star" the email and reply later. I discovered Speaking Email 8-9 months ago. There were only three programs of this type in AppStore and only two that could connect to Exchange. After test-driving all three, the choice was obvious. I think I was one of the early adopters of this program. It was great when I discovered it, and it's been getting even better with each update. I did have a short wish list in the beginning, but now it's absolutely perfect from my point of view. It reads the emails in the right order, deals smartly with email threads, skips replies, and ignores spam. If there's anything else I should be wishing for, I've not discovered it yet. I like the fact that program does only one thing - it reads emails. There's no unrelated and confusing functionality and no distracting graphics. Clear interface, smart functionality, and clearly defined purpose. This app comes really close to my idea of a perfect app.
