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 QuickConnect™
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 TapAnywhere™ -- 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 Mode™, 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.
