## What is DriveMail Voice?

DriveMail Voice reads your unread emails aloud so you can stay informed without taking your eyes off the road. Designed for drivers, commuters, and anyone who wants a hands-free email experience.

HANDS-FREE EMAIL
DriveMail Voice fetches your unread emails and reads them aloud — sender, subject, and body. No looking at your phone required.

CARPLAY SUPPORT
Works seamlessly with Apple CarPlay. Start listening to your emails the moment you connect. Tap to pause, skip, reply, or mark as read — all from your car's display.

VOICE REPLIES
Reply to emails using your voice. Just say your message, confirm, and send — all without touching your phone.

AI SUMMARIES
Get quick AI-powered summaries of long emails so you can decide what needs your attention now and what can wait.

SMART READING
Automatically skips signatures, legal disclaimers, tracking links, and other irrelevant content so you only hear what matters.

MULTIPLE EMAIL ACCOUNTS
Connect your Gmail, Outlook, and iCloud accounts. DriveMail Voice merges all your unread emails into one stream.

PLAYBACK CONTROLS
Pause, resume, skip, go back, replay, and adjust reading speed (slow, normal, fast) to match your preference.

MARK AS READ OR SKIP
After hearing each email, choose to mark it as read, reply, or skip and leave it unread for later.

PRIVACY FIRST
All processing happens on your device. Email content is held in memory only and never stored to disk. No backend servers. Your data stays yours.

## Version history (last 5 releases)

### 1.0.4 — 2026-08-05

Hands-free voice commands now work with your screen locked.

After each email, just say "mark as read", "leave unread", "skip", "reply", or "forward" — no need to touch your phone. Say "send" to send a reply or forward. The buttons still work exactly as before, and you can turn voice commands off in Settings.

Also in this update:
• Forwarding reads the recipient's email address back before sending, so a name that sounds like someone else's can't slip through
• Fixed a case where the same reply or forward could be sent twice
• Fixed replies reporting success when the mail server had actually rejected a recipient
• Faster, more reliable voice capture — the microphone no longer misses your first word
• Fixed playback briefly dropping in volume after a voice command
• Better handling of iOS 18 "Selected Contacts" access when forwarding by name

### 1.0.3 — 2026-08-01

Fixed: longer emails could stop reading partway through and skip ahead to the end. They now read from start to finish.

### 1.0.2 — 2026-07-22

What's New:
• Reply and forward by voice more reliably — sending is now faster and more dependable across Gmail, Outlook, and iCloud.
• Your unread emails now read in chronological order, oldest first, so threads and replies make sense.
• Quicker, more accurate voice input when dictating a reply or choosing a contact to forward to.
• Optional "Sent by voice while driving" sign-off on replies and forwards — turn it on or off in Settings.

### 1.0.1 — 2026-06-25

Hands-free email just got clearer and more reliable:
• Reads calendar invites and image-only emails aloud
• Cleaner reading of newsletters and formatted mail — skips ads, disclaimers, and on-screen clutter
• Instant Mark as Read
• Many playback reliability and stability improvements

### 1.0 — 2026-05-19

No release notes.
