What is Talkler QuickConnect™?

Talkler QuickConnect makes connecting your email account easier than ever. No tricky servers or ports to enter. Simply add your email and password. That’s it. Talkler does the rest.

Is Talkler private and secure?

Yes. Talkler is actually more secure than Siri and other cloud-based speech apps. Other apps send every utterance up to the cloud for interpreting, and then receive the results back from the cloud. These round trips can be intercepted and hacked. Talkler does all its voice recognition right on your device, for enhanced security and privacy. In addition, we can’t see your emails, passwords, or any other private data.
