Sign in to Google on iOS (Apple confirmation prompt)

Q: Why do I see “Speaking Email Wants to Use google.com to Sign In"?

A: When connecting your Gmail account you will see this prompt:


Speaking Email Wants to Use google.com to Sign In.
This allows the app and website to share information about you.
Cancel / Continue


This Apple security prompt appears before the Google page—it’s normal and safe to tap Continue (bottom-right).


After you tap Continue, a secure Google sign-in window appears—select your Google account, enter your password if asked, and allow Speaking Email to access Gmail.


The wording in Apple’s dialog is quite confusing. It means the website accounts.google.com can share data with the app Speaking Email so you can securely connect your account. We never see your password. We only use your name and email address to create your account, and your mail access solely for the app’s features. We don’t share your information with third parties, and you can revoke access anytime in your Google Account settings.


Speaking Email completes Google’s annual CASA security assessment for apps using restricted Gmail scopes. This independent audit (by a Google-approved assessor) validates our controls on personal data handling.



What is Speaking Email?

An app for iPhone and Android that reads your email out loud to you. It intelligently extracts content from emails (minus the signatures, disclaimers and threads). And it lets you action your email - archive, mark-as-read, trash, flag, reply, or forward. It can be completely by voice command, or use the large on-screen buttons or full screen touch gestures.


Who is it for?

People with blindness or visual impairment. People who are busy and run out of time to get through their inbox. People who want to make productive use of time when driving between appointments.
