I love this app, but right now you cannot send new emails with it.  The
developer told me they are working on it.  Here is a list of the voice
commands you can use:

If You're Drowning in Email, Talkler Can Help Eyes-Free, Hands-Free Mobile
App Changes the Future of Email and On-the-Go Speech Technology

Boston, MA -- "Talkler - Email for your Ears" -- helps busy people who are
drowning in email to stay productive and safe. This free smartphone app
offers heads-up, hands-off, voice-controlled, reads-aloud-to-you email on
your mobile device, and connects with almost any email service. Simply say,
"Hey, Talkler" to get the app's attention, and then use your voice to breeze
through emails, listen to messages and manage your inbox. Download free:
www.talkler.com/start

A True Game-Changer
Spotlighted by Apple as an international Top 10 Productivity app, Talkler is
the only app of any kind that handles email with voice control and eyes-free
gestures. It uses advanced text-to-speech technology to read emails aloud in
plain English. Talkler uses powerful voice recognition to listen for dozens
of voice commands -- "play my emails," "skip to the next one," "delete,"
"slow down," "mark unread" and more. It even records voice replies, as
easily as leaving a voicemail, with no proofing or typos. Talkler tracks
sound, touch, motion and distance to make possible a wide range of user
interactions unmatched by any other email or speech-only solution. And
Talkler uses on-device processing, which means better security, and being
able to understand voice commands even when traveling through cell phone
dead zones with zero bars.

Connect to Almost Any Email Service with Talkler QuickConnectT Talkler is
the only app that makes it this easy to connect your email account: Just
enter your email and password -- Talkler QuickConnect looks up the rest for
you. Talkler supports all standard IMAP and POP accounts, and even connects
to custom domains (such as [log in to unmask]). This means no more
searching for complicated server addresses, port numbers, etc. And Talkler
connects with hosted Exchange from most major providers. (Plans are also
underway to support ActiveSync.)

Safety and Productivity
Talkler is more than just voice control. It's truly multimodal. For
instance, Talkler TapAnywhereT -- built with safety and productivity in mind
-- allows users to keep their eyes on the road as they tap and swipe across
nearly any part of the screen to pause or play emails, skip to the next
message and more. No visual distractions. No hunting for tiny buttons. And
for users who need to stay productive in all settings, Talkler leverages the
phone's accelerometer and proximity sensor for features such as Raise-to-Ear
Privacy ModeT, which darkens the screen and automatically adjusts to the
right volume for privacy -- like having a quiet phone call with your inbox.

Life-Changing App
Talkler is changing the way busy professionals manage the daily flood of
email. And it's changing the lives of others, as well. It's untethering
blind and low-vision users from their computers and expensive voice
recognition software. Talkler also solves mobile email problems for the
reading impaired by reading aloud to them and recording voice replies, and
for physically challenged users who can't use a smartphone touch screen. And
it's enabling busy moms and dads to tend to kids and errands without taking
their hands off the wheel or eyes off the road.
