Q: Does it work with Exchange or Outlook?
A: Yes! If you use Outlook in an enterprise environment you are probably using Microsoft 365 or perhaps Exchange server.
If you are using Microsoft 365, see Speaking Email required permissions for Microsoft 365 to help you configure the right permissions in Azure portal
If you use ActiveSync to connect to Exchange server, you can also use this with Speaking Email. If you connect to your mail on your phone already, check your phone mail settings, which will show if you are connecting to Exchange. It will also show your server name and username.
Your server name should be just the host and domain name (eg mobile.myserver.com).
Your username will be either:
- your full email address (and leave domain blank)
- OR a username (eg mnelson) and domain (eg bewebnetwork)
If you are having trouble connecting, Microsoft has a tool which helps you check if you have the right credentials. To use the tool, select "ActiveSync" (the default option). You can use this tool to check your connection:
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.
Do you have Apple CarPlay?
