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 couple of 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, companies, and jargon are pronounced the way they're meant to — and if something ever slips through, one report fixes it permanently, for everyone.

Most text-to-speech tools narrate a page exactly as written — footnote markers, "see figure 2," tables read cell by cell. Earmail adapts each piece for listening instead: tables are spoken aloud, asides are smoothed in, and charts and graphics can be described so you get the point instead of an awkward silence. It also assigns a different voice to each newsletter, reads interviews as a two-voice conversation, adds chapter markers to long pieces, pronounces names and jargon correctly, and can synthesize a weekly digest across everything you forwarded.

Yes — every episode has its own reply address. Send it 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, 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 within a couple of minutes of forwarding. Longer newsletters may take a bit more, but you'll never be waiting long.

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.)

Your forwarded newsletters and articles stay private to your account — we never sell them or use them to train AI models, and no one at Earmail browses them; they're processed only to produce your episodes. A few trusted providers handle parts of that pipeline (narration, speech, email delivery, hosting), each listed in our privacy policy. Your podcast feed is private too: a personal URL with no public listing or shared channels. And if you cancel or delete your account, your content, transcripts, and audio are permanently removed within 30 days.

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