## What is PlayLetter?

PlayLetter turns the newsletters you love into audio you can listen to anywhere — on your commute, at the gym, doing the dishes.

Your own on-demand listening feed for newsletters. 880+ newsletters — finance, tech, AI, politics, culture, plus local city dailies — read aloud in a natural voice you pick, with the charts and images on screen as it reads.

WHY PLAYLETTER
• Listen instead of read. Your inbox is full of great writing you never get to. Now you can hear it.
• A voice you choose. Five natural voices — switch anytime.
• See the visuals. Charts and images appear on screen in time with the audio.
• Ad-free listening. Sponsor blocks, affiliate plugs and subscribe pitches are cut before an edition is voiced, so what you hear is the writing. Reading keeps the newsletter exactly as sent — the writer's sponsors and links still work.
• Background play. Keeps going with your screen off, with lock-screen controls and autoplay to the next.
• Build playlists, favorite episodes, and download for offline listening.
• Your city, daily. Local newsletters right next to the big nationals.

BRING WHAT YOU ALREADY READ
