I am very overdue to correct my original review of this app - so I need to restore my own integrity - my apologies to the developer. I was very wrong about the voice recognition piece - I made the mistake of blaming the app when it was my poor Bluetooth in car mic (even though it was new).After I purchased (a great) Plantronics Voyager 104 Bluetooth headset, then I quickly realized my error and incorrect rating. In terms of the App, I was fairly happy, and it really did make a listening (and replying by voice) to emails while driving very possible.I still had some trouble editing a response without having to start from scratch, which was frustrating if I needed to correct one word within a response I verbally created, but I know the developer was making incremental improvements to this, and they were very open to listening to feedback. Pretty impressive.One thing that was always challenging was to clearly understand how the settings, some of which seemed to overlap potentially in how and which emails come in, and I could never be confident that the app, even if left running, would pick up where I last left off (so I had to set to always read a specific number of emails - e.g. always read 30).However, overall a very good app and worth the ability to deal with email if you are commuting.

The way this app functions is tremendous especially for someone like me who can no longer look at my smartphone due to my eye problem. So the app works very smoothly and it is easy to learn and very easy to use. I highly recommend it. The best part is superb customer service. I wrote to the company about an issue I was having and the app developer corresponded with me in less than an hour and actually fixed a bug in the system and the problem was corrected within a few hours. It is so helpful to be able to speak directly and quickly to the app developer. This is such a helpful and beneficial product, it is so well done. I highly highly recommend purchasing it. It is well worth the money to stay with the premium edition. Because of this app my eyes are already feeling the relief.

Great features from an excellent company. I have been using this product multiple times each day for several years and could not be happier with the absolutely outstanding set of features combined with unparalleled support from the developer.This is an extraordinary product providing great assistance for those of us with low vision. It makes reading and replying to email simple and enjoyable. The degree of customization in every element of the program is wonderful, allowing preferences to be chosen for essentially every detail of how the program behaves. The developer, Mike Nelson, is a master of design and coding. He has been meticulous in crafting a beautiful product, and incorporating suggestions and improvements throughout my years of ownership.This program apparently provides comparable benefits to those dealing with reading issues arising from dyslexia and ADHD. Combined with those for vision issues, the impact of his benefit to accessibility for all of us just cannot be overstated!You will love this program. Seriously!

ADHD can be a superpower in many ways, but in my experience, email and ADHD (I have inattentive type) are not a match. It can be so overwhelming that I just shut down instead of making any progress. This app has changed everything! It took me about 10 minutes to get it going and test the settings to make it work with my preferences... Then, I started clearing my inbox like it was nothing! And I've kept a clear inbox now for about 2 weeks; NO unread EMAILS looming over my head on a daily basis is a game changer and frees up my mind to do all of the other things on my plate!The only thing I find difficult is to reply (which they do have many options on this app to use), but I'm not an eloquent "on the fly" speaker so I'd rather just flag the email and reply from my computer, ipad or phone. Just a tip in case you find the same thing when using it.It's fair to say that getting this app has been a lifesaver for me! And I've never written a review for anything before, so that's how much I love it!

I really needed a way to get through my email while I was driving and out of all of the options I looked at, Speaking Email was by far the best one, nothing else was even in the running. I have been using it for several years and I can’t even say how much it has helped me stay on top of my email. This doesn’t just read your email to you but allows you to respond and file email, which is really what makes this better than any other product out there.

I have trouble focusing on one task at a time. I use this app to help me with email overload. It helps me deal with triaging my email to get it to a point where I do not feel paralyzed about where to start and how to go about filing, deleting, marking as spam, unsubscribing, etc. I cannot thank Mike and his team enough for making this app. I wish Apple would invest in this app to make it a part of the core OS. I also love that this app works on Apple’s M series based computers. I hope this app continues to flourish and grow because it is fantastic.

Mine is probably a different use case than others. Speaking Email allows me to quickly read email and use DOS-like commands to delete hundreds of emails in one sitting without using my hands. Saves me plenty of keystrokes every day. With some configuration, I can view an email and delete it within 3-4 seconds before moving to the next one. For those that I want to read later, I can skip to the next email, and then return and read at my leisure.

I have a client who has essential lost all sight. This has been the best email program I’ve been able to find for his needs. SIRI’s capabilities just didn’t cut it. But this, this software is great! Something truly inspiring is watching my client go from a state of being unable to do anything with email, to now being able to correspond with friends, etc, on their own. This really has greatly improved their life!Wonderful product. Should really be highlighted by Apple.

I have been using this app for several years now. I use it more than any other purchased app. I get 200 emails per day, most of which are actionable on my part. This app allows me to work through the volume while I am commuting and remain hands free. I still have plenty of work to do when I am in my office, but this app saves me so much time. I feel like I can be in control again.

This application is awesome and just what I have been looking for. It easily automatically configured the settings to my corporate and personal emails, performs a broad range of voice directed functions, is extremely easy to use, performs well even with significant background noise and is highly configurable.
