Ask the Royal National Institute for the blind. They can advise you on software for your machine that will speak to you and that you can dictate to to reply to mail.

Not sure if helpful,but i remember a few Nokia's(E series) in the past that not only read text messages(so should be emails,as can be set up in messaging to receive!),is in phone without having to download apps,but a bit Stephen Hawkins like in sound. Also the phone can speak the menu's for what folder you're in when u open the folder in the menu for that purpose.

hey as exhaustedwife said, contact the royal institute for the blind. when i was at college there was someone there that had a tiny instrument you connected to the computer and it told you what you had input and also read it back to you.

hope that helps.

Windows 10 has the built in 'Narrator' programme, which reads on screen text aloud I wonder if this would read your email content.

Just checked on my laptop Jaec ; windows 10 has the option of a narrator for all text, with choice of voices.

Wasn't aware of it 'til Sealiphone mentioned it....

I have dyslexia from birth, though not caught until much later in life and my TBI has made it worse. However it does mean that I have certain tools in place.

I will assume that you mean personal e-mails.

As others have said Windows and OS X have built in tools for narration.

I also have Read&Write, mainly for spelling, but it also has a reader and a box the reads any text dropped in it. The tool also installs PDF aloud which also reads PDFs in Adobe DC reader.

The voice is slightly better than the windows one.

My windows phone also used to speak my txt messages.

On the iPhone Siri can read the title, sender, date and subject. I just had a play and could not get Siri to read an e-mail, no does Google assistant.

Maybe others can advise on apps.

It would be good to know what device you want to read your e-mails on.
