Exclusive Talkler features

Talkler TapAnywhere™ heads-up gestures.
No searching for tiny buttons. TapAnywhere onscreen to pause and resume playback of your emails. Swipe anywhere to skip to the next email. Pinch anywhere to delete. Truly heads-up.

Talkler Teleprompter™ auto-scrolling text.
Didn't catch that last word? No worries. Auto-scrolling onscreen text is always in sync with Talkler’s text-to-speech voices. High-contrast, oversized type is easy to read from a distance. So you can glance at the screen, as easy as glancing at a speedometer.

I've just checked a few stores (including the UK, Ireland and Canada), and the US was the only one that listed this app.
