Won’t load
Downloaded from App Store and the screen tries to load. Goes from 72-84 and starts over.
Response from developer
Hi, this issue is now fixed! Please download again from the App Store.
Didn’t work
This app hangs at the 365 login and asked for you to log in when not connected to car play, although it’s not connected. Rubbish app.
Response from developer
Sorry to hear it did not work when you tried signing in with your Microsoft 365 account. This usually works whenever we have tested it. Also it usually detects connection to CarPlay properly, we have not seen that issue either. Perhaps try rebooting your phone.
Best App for Triaging Email While Driving
I live just a few minutes away from work. My typical routine used to be (1) wake up late; (2) look at email and commence experiencing panic; (3) shower while panicking; (4) get ready while panicking; (5) drive to work while panicking; (6) get to work and begin playing email tennis for a few hours.
Now, I wait until I’m in the car and then I use SpeakingEmail to triage my email. Sure, I could process email and do all my responses via SpeakingEmail but I prefer to just get rid of all the email that doesn’t really require much action or is just junk. I use the unsubscribe and block commands
to deal with all the unsolicited email that I get. I also forward emails to TickTick or Todoist for my GTD workflows.
You’re probably thinking: why not just use Apple Mail or Microsoft Outlook both of which have text-to-speech functionality. Well, Apple Mail is incredibly limited in what it can do. Outlook uses Cortana which has a fantastic natural sounding text-to-speech engine. But the downside is that it is so focused on sounding human and friendly that it takes over a minute for each email to be read out.
No other voice-based email app has the level of customization that SpeakingEmail has. I love it and the main reason I wrote this long review is that I hope someone else reading this will also find it and get the same benefits that I do.
Thank you guys for making this app. You have greatly reduced my chances of dying of a heart attack.
