You meant to read it.
Now you can listen.

Earmail turns email newsletters and web articles into podcast episodes. Forward a newsletter to your personal Earmail address (or set up an auto-forward rule so it happens automatically) or paste any article URL, and within a few minutes you'll have a studio-quality audio version waiting in your podcast app.

Earmail uses HD-quality voices that sound natural and expressive, not robotic. You can choose from several voices and even assign different voices to different newsletters so you always know what you're listening to. Long pieces include chapter markers so you can skip around, interviews are read as a two-voice conversation, and names and acronyms are pronounced the way they're meant to — and if something ever slips through, one report can help fix it permanently, for everyone.

Most text-to-speech tools narrate a page exactly as written: they speak stray footnote markers, announce images you can’t see (like “see figure 2”), and read tables cell by cell. Earmail adapts each piece for listening instead: tables are described intelligently, footnotes are smoothed in, and charts and graphics can be described so you get the point instead of an awkward silence or critical missing piece. Earmail also lets you give each newsletter its own voice, reads interviews as a two-voice conversation, adds chapter markers to long pieces, pronounces names and acronyms correctly, and can synthesize a weekly digest across everything you forwarded.

Yes. Every episode has its own reply address. Send a follow-up question about anything you heard and Earmail answers from the article itself, with citations — as an email, a short audio episode in your feed, or both.

Yes. If a newsletter arrives in another language, we automatically translate it into natural English before narration. Episodes are tagged with their original language, and you can opt out in settings if you'd rather hear the original.

Any app that supports RSS feeds: Apple Podcasts, Overcast, Pocket Casts, Castro, Podcast Addict (Android), and many more. You'll get a private feed URL during setup that you add once, and new episodes appear automatically.

Most episodes are ready in a few minutes. Earmail isn't just reading the text aloud — it strips ads and footers, adapts the piece for listening, adds chapters, and checks pronunciation before narrating. Long reads, PDFs, and translated pieces take a little longer.

We adapt each email for listening: ads, tracking pixels, and footers are stripped out, then the article text is narrated without rewriting the author's words. Charts and graphics can be described rather than dropped. (How we handle your data is covered in “How private is my content?” just below.)

No, and there's no way to give it to us. Earmail intentionally has no mailbox connection — you'll never see a “connect your account” step. You get a private forwarding address, and the only mail we ever see is the mail you send there. Everything else in your inbox stays where it is, and we don't see it.

Your forwarded newsletters and articles stay private to your account — we never sell them or use them to train AI models. A few trusted providers handle parts of the production pipeline, each listed in our privacy policy. Your podcast feed is private too: a personal URL with no public listing or shared channels. If you delete your account, your content is removed within 30 days. If you cancel a paid plan, you keep access through the end of the billing period; your content is then held for a 30-day recovery window before deletion.

Yes. Earmail has no contracts and no commitments. Cancel from your dashboard or Stripe billing portal and you'll keep access through the end of your billing period.
