How do I use Mote for Gmail?

Did you know email anxiety is a thing? Do you ever worry about tone or typos in emails? Or whether that extra exclamation point or emoji was excessive? In this digital age, it can be hard to know how to say what we mean. And with so many emails in our inbox, who has time for it all?

With Mote for Gmail, you won't ever have to proof read another email. You get to capture the enthusiasm of your voice, the warmth of your tone, while saving a ton of time.

With the Mote Chrome Extension installed, and your Mote Account created, click the mote icon to the right of the "send" button in a new email message to begin recording your voice. 

When you're done recording your message, click the button in the middle of the pop up. 

And that's it! Before you send your message, you can play back the audio, delete, or even begin again. When you're happy with your message, just click "send" as you would a normal email. 

Should the recipient of your email have mote installed, that person will be able to click right in the email to listen to your message. If the recipient doesn't have mote installed, no problem! They will see an image which they can click to access your voice note and transcript via the mote website.
