1. Has some features on by default that I find annoying (scrub scrolling, reading time/date/sender, not reading in background, stopping every 5 seconds) and lacks features that I would have assumed to have been vital (highlighting text being read, controlling which part is being read by clicking text).App seems a great idea but when I installed it, logged in and pressed play latest, it didn't actually read me anything Update: text to speech worked fine on my new phone but I've decided to delete it.
2. You have to purchase premium to be able to delete emails by voice and you have to keep repeating the voice commands.My new Mazda CX-30 doesn't read out Emails, so I installed Speaking Email on my Samsung.
3. The app itself is simple to use and has a host of preference features, allowing the user to easily customize his or her experience.Worked great for a while., but now it pauses for 5 to 10 seconds between EVERY SENTENCE! It will say the title, long pause, who from, long pause, read one sentence, long pause, another sentence, long pause, and on and on.
4. (I will change my review to 5 stars when it is fixed.) I will say the team answered me right back when I sent in the bug report and promise to work on it soon -- very responsive! The bug: There is this really nice feature that you can adjust the behaviors of the various actions (like archive) to do things like include a special label.
5. Otherwise: great app that does just what it says!I highly recommend Speaking Email to anyone who is looking for ways to affordably multitask.
6. I was out on the highway and received several very complicated emails (in tiny print) and thought, now is the time to get an email reader.
7. I'd hoped to be able to catch up on some of my emails while driving but the pauses are so long I can't see myself being able to follow the thread while focussing on something else.
8. I use this app almost daily to read out very long emails, and it works very well, but does have a few issues.
9. The app must stay in the foreground in order to continue reading as if you leave it, it will slow down and eventually stop, and there is no Bluetooth control.This app does not deserve it's lack luster rating.
10. But even without that, Speaking Email is a nice product and I like it a lot.Love the app! It is doing everything I need, and I've already purchased one month of the paid edition.
11. When listening to radio, constantly cutting out when checking email, would be improvement if check was done in background & then radio silenced when email actually received rather than constantly.
