Reviews: What People Think About Speaking Email - voice reader
Dr. John Rubio
Rating: 5/5
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.

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!
