Why Talk to Email Me

Typing is great — until your hands are busy. With Siri and Email Me working together, your voice becomes the fastest route to your inbox:

Completely hands-free. Cooking, driving, out for a walk — say your phrase and the note is on its way.
Faster than any app. No unlocking, no tapping. From thought to sent note in a few seconds.
It ends up where you'll see it. Every note lands in your inbox, ready to be acted on.

Ask Siri What's Possible

Not sure where to start? Just ask: "Hey Siri, what can you do with Email Me?" Siri will show you the actions available, from sending quick notes to starting an audio recording.

Step-by-Step Guide to Setting Up Siri with Email Me

Step 1: Enable Siri on Your iPhone

Go to Settings > Siri (called Apple Intelligence & Siri on newer versions of iOS) and make sure Siri is turned on, including the option to listen for "Hey Siri" so you can trigger it without touching your iPhone.

Step 2: Pick Your Recipient in Email Me

Open Email Me and go to Settings > Siri > Select Recipient. This tells Siri which email address your voice notes should be sent to — set it once and forget it.

Step 3: Record an Audio Notes Shortcut

In Email Me, tap the Siri Shortcuts button and record your personal phrase for an audio note — something short and natural like "Audio note". From now on, saying "Hey Siri, audio note" starts a recording that goes straight to your inbox.
