The browser will read the content of the website for you. New Google Chrome feature
Chrome is currently testing the introduction of the Read Aloud feature. It was called “Listen to this side”. After selecting it, a mini player will appear in the menu. There will also be an interface that displays the length of the article. You will be able to navigate it like the timeline in Media Player or other programs for playing audio or video files. The creators also announce that it will be possible to adjust the speed of sound playback.
Currently, there is no information on when such a function will be introduced in the stable version of browsers. However, people who use the dev or beta test version will soon be able to test the “Listen to this page” option. The first user reviews will most likely appear then.
Until now, people who wanted their device to read for them could use Android’s system function. It is available in the toolbar after highlighting text in any application, not only in web browsers.
Microsoft EDGE introduced this solution a long time ago. Experts are delighted
The browser already has a similar function. It was based on the Chromium engine on which Chrome runs. In Microsoft EDGE, this solution is called “Read Aloud”. According to many mobile industry experts, it is almost close to perfection.
