Email, by voice.
Lumin is a voice-first email assistant for your iPhone. Tap once, talk to it, and it reads, replies to, deletes, and triages your email — without you having to look at a screen.
Designed alongside the blind and low-vision community. Useful for anyone who'd rather work with their voice than their thumbs.
What you can do
• Triage your morning inbox — "What's new?" and Lumin reads through your unread mail, one by one. Say "delete," "archive," "mark as read," "reply," or "next."
• Write replies by voice — Dictate naturally. Lumin writes professional, full-sentence emails that don't sound like AI. Review before you send.
• Find what you need — "Find the email from my doctor last week." Lumin searches your inbox and reads back what it finds.
• Get the gist of a long email — "Summarize this." Lumin reads you the key points instead of the full message.
• Hands-free, eyes-free — Works while you're making coffee, walking the dog, or anywhere you don't want to stare at a screen.
Built for accessibility
Lumin is designed to work alongside VoiceOver — or to replace the parts of email that VoiceOver makes painful. No more swiping through subject lines. No more wrestling with HTML emails. Just talk.
Privacy
Your email stays yours. Lumin only reads what you ask it to read, and only writes when you tell it to. We never sell, share, or train on your inbox content.

I am able to prioritize my work without thinking about prioritizing using this app. I first go through and find out the basic information about my new mail, delete those things that I’m glad I knew about, but don’t need to keep, ask questions and learn which are actually valuable. By the time I actually open my Mail app all of the important stuff is at the top and all I need to do is tend to it. I also save a great deal of time because I often need to copy something from an email and put it into a different email for a different purpose. This app is wonderful at locating the mail copying the information and facilitating my new email. Wow, I love it. It earned a spot on my first page home screen of my iPhone. Nice work on this app very much care about facilitating life of people who are blind.
My thoughts about Lumin
The blind striker
Lumin is a huge game changer before using this app. It would take me forever to write out. Emails look through along threads and find things that I needed but now I can simply use my voice and control my whole email with a matter of minutes. If you’re blind and you have a hard time navigating through your email, I would definitely recommend this app. It makes things so much easier and you can get more things done within the time that it would take you to type out one email.
Very useful for those with and without vision

The application offers many good features that are useful for those who are visually impaired and those who can see very well. I would recommend giving it a try if you want an assistant that can and will read out your emails and allow you to respond with just speech.
A huge productivity boost!

This app is incredibly helpful when sorting, reading and replying to email messages. The ability to interact with my email using speech feels like the future, but Lumin has made it a reality. This is an excellent app for busy professionals, as well as individuals with disabilities who want to interact with their email via voice.
Gives you a chance to share feedback at the end of each call with Lumin! (You can also share feedback while talking to Lumin! Just say something like "I want to send feedback.")
Bug fixes for audio quality drops mid-call and pause button behavior.
