TripIt support is built into the eSpeakers App, letting you use the powerful TripIt tool to bring your travel plans into your events instead of hand-entering them.
What is TripIt? TripIt is a free service that helps organize your air, hotel, rental car, travel plans, etc. To enter plans in TripIt, you simply forward the confirmation email from your reservations to
plans@tripit.com
. The service pulls the relevant details right out of the email and generates an itinerary for you.
You do not need TripIt PRO to use this feature; it works fine with the free version.

How Do I Get a Specific Trip From TripIt Into an Event in the eSpeakers App?
Use the drop-down control and select LOAD UPCOMING TRIPS. The eSpeakers App will retrieve upcoming trips from your TripIt account and add them to the drop-down list.
Open the drop-down list again and select one of your TripIt trips.
All done! The travel plans have been copied to the eSpeakers App. From here you can change or add to the plans. Or, if you update the plans in TripIt you can use the GRAB button again to get a fresh copy.
