Open Spokeninbox and sign in with Apple, Google, or your email address. The app gives you a private address, something like you@in.spokeninbox.com. Anything sent to that address shows up in your Spokeninbox inbox, ready to play.

In Gmail on a computer, open Settings, then See all settings, then Forwarding and POP/IMAP. Choose Add a forwarding address and paste your Spokeninbox address. Gmail sends a confirmation code to that address: open it in Spokeninbox, copy the code, enter it in Gmail, then turn forwarding on. The Forwarding screen in the app walks you through the same steps.

To forward only some email, create a Gmail filter instead: search for the senders you want, choose Create filter, then Forward to.

In Outlook.com, open Settings, then Mail, then Forwarding, turn on forwarding and enter your Spokeninbox address. In iCloud Mail on icloud.com, open Settings, then Forwarding, and enter your address. Most other providers have a similar forwarding setting.

Use your Spokeninbox address wherever you would normally subscribe with your email. New issues arrive automatically. To listen to something you already received, forward it to your address from any mail app.

Many newsletters send a confirmation email first, so open Spokeninbox and confirm from there. Pull down to refresh your inbox. If a message still has not arrived after a few minutes, check the address for typos and make sure your forwarding or filter is turned on. Messages larger than 2 MB, usually because of big attachments, are not accepted. Still stuck? Email support@spokeninbox.com.

Only when you press play. Opening an email shows a quick preview. The first time you press play, the text is cleaned up and read aloud, then the audio is saved on your phone so replays are instant.

No. Spokeninbox reads the text of the email itself. Attachments such as PDFs and images are not read.

Yes. Playback continues in the background with lock-screen controls, and every email picks up where you stopped, even the next day.

English, Russian, and Spanish. The language is detected for each email and read in a matching voice, so a Spanish email is read in Spanish.

Yes, each plan has a monthly listening allowance. The free plan includes 1 hour a month; paid plans include 10, 25 or 50 hours, from $9.99 a month. Audio you have already played does not count again. The allowance resets on the 1st of each month (UTC), and unused minutes do not roll over.

No. Spokeninbox never connects to your email account and never asks for your email password. We only see what you forward to your Spokeninbox address. See the Privacy Policy for details.

Install Spokeninbox and sign in with the same Apple, Google, or email account. Your address and inbox come back. Listening positions and saved audio stay on the old phone, so emails on the new phone start from the beginning.

Open Settings in the app and tap Sign out. Your inbox stays on our servers, ready for when you sign back in.

Email support@spokeninbox.com from the email address you sign in with, or include your Spokeninbox address. We will permanently delete your account, your address, and every stored message and transcript. Deleting the app alone does not delete your account; it only clears the audio saved on your phone.
