A: Speaking Email is drop dead simple to hook up to your Gmail account. Just download the app and click on "Sign in with Gmail". You can then hear your Gmail read out loud to you.

You can manage your mail by voice command, including reply, forward and composing new emails. Emails are sent using Gmail servers so it comes from you. There is no email server configuration needed, and no chance of emails being classified as spam due to being sent via non-Gmail servers. 

Speaking Email is designed to be safe to use while driving and fully operable by voice for blind, low vision and disabled users. Other solutions such as Gmail read out loud plugins for desktop Gmail (eg Speechify) don't have the full functionality or the portability and ease of use offered by a native mobile app.  

What is Speaking Email?

An app for iPhone and Android that reads your email out loud to you. It intelligently extracts content from emails (minus the signatures, disclaimers and threads). And it lets you action your email - archive, mark-as-read, trash, flag, reply, or forward. It can be completely by voice command, or use the large on-screen buttons or full screen touch gestures.

Who is it for?

People with blindness or visual impairment. People who are busy and run out of time to get through their inbox. People who want to make productive use of time when driving between appointments.
