 "Out Loud for Outlook", developed by Nathan Carlson for Outlook 2007 using Visual Studio 2008 Tools for Microsoft Office, allows you to create a new Outlook rule that reads your designated email out loud when it triggers. You can also use speech recognition command & control, to open and navigate through your emails.

• Basics of developing an Outlook 2007 Add-in.


• Consuming Outlook events.


• Accessing e-mails.


• Creating a Custom Action for Outlook rules.


• Using Speech Synthesis.


• Using Speech Recognition.
