1. A computer-implemented method when executed on data processing hardware of an input and output device causes the data processing hardware to perform operations comprising:
receiving, from an electronic device in communication with the input and output device via a wireless personal area network, speech synthesized audio data reciting a corresponding subject line of a current unread email among a number of unread emails in an inbox of an email application, the email application executing on the electronic device;
audibly annunciating the speech synthesized audio data reciting the corresponding subject line of the current unread email;
receiving a user selection at a touch pad disposed on the input and output device to initiate a command to listen to a next unread email among the number of unread emails in the inbox of the email application; and
based on the user selection at the touch pad disposed on the input and output device to initiate the command, transmitting, over the wireless personal area network, from the input and output device, the command to the electronic device, the command when received by the electronic device causing the electronic device to instruct the email application executing on the electronic device to skip to the next unread email and generate new speech synthesized audio data that recites a corresponding subject line of the next unread email.
