Aloud Mail reads your email to you — every message, out loud, in a warm natural voice. It was built first for blind and low-vision readers, and for anyone who finds screens hard: big text, simple gestures, and a voice assistant that does the work. YOUR INBOX, SPOKEN • Swipe up or down to move through your mail — each email announced: who it's from, what it's about • Swipe left to open an email and hear it read in full • Swipe right to archive it (swipe again to bring it back) • Tap once to stop the voice at any time • At the top, swipe down to check for new mail JUST ASK Hold your finger anywhere on the screen and talk: • "Read me the email from the doctor" • "Do I have any new mail?" • "Reply and say thank you, I'll be there Friday" • "Show only emails from Kevin" Replies are read back to you before anything is sent — nothing goes out without your spoken yes. MADE FOR EYES-FREE LIVING • Very large adjustable text and high-contrast themes, including dark mode • A slower, clearer reading voice you control • A full spoken how-to guide — just ask "how do I use this?" • Works on iPhone and iPad 23 LANGUAGES Aloud Mail speaks and translates: hear English mail in Vietnamese, Spanish, French, and twenty more — the original message is always kept exactly as it arrived. YOUR ACCOUNTS Gmail, iCloud Mail, Yahoo, AOL, and any IMAP provider. A family member can set everything up in minutes, and sign-in credentials never leave the device.
