Two ways to listen
The custom helper makes full-email listening fast. Text selection gives you precise control.
Option 1 — Custom Gmail helper
ArticleAudio adds its own play button to the Gmail toolbar. Open a newsletter, long email, or thread and click once to hear the visible message content—no highlighting required.
Option 2 — Select text
Highlight a paragraph or section, then click the orange play button, press Shift+Tab, or use the right-click menu.
Great content, but not always convenient to read
Thoughtful newsletters are worth reading, but the longer they are, the easier they are to leave unopened for later.
Detailed updates, reports, and email threads demand your eyes even when you could be listening while doing something else.
When an email is dense, it is easy to jump past context, action items, or a sentence that changes the meaning.
Your commute, a walk, or household chores can be good catch-up time—but not if every email needs your full visual attention.
Turn any Gmail content into natural-sounding audio
ArticleAudio adds a dedicated listen button to Gmail. Open a message or thread, click the helper, and hear the visible email content without selecting it first.
Highlight one paragraph, a key section, or part of a newsletter when you do not want the entire email read aloud.
Turn long-form writing delivered to your inbox into natural-sounding audio for walks, commutes, and chores.
Adjust playback speed to move quickly through routine updates or slow down when an email needs more attention.
