Listen Up: Chrome’s “Listen to This Page” Feature Brings Webpages to Life
Imagine having your favorite articles, news stories, and websites read to you, right from your Android phone. With Google’s new “Listen to This Page” feature in Chrome, that dream is now reality!
Say Goodbye to Scrolling Tired Eyes
This amazing feature turns your Chrome browser into a personal voice assistant, reading webpages out loud to you in a soothing and customizable voice. No more straining your eyes scrolling through long articles or getting distracted by other tabs. Simply tap the “Listen to This Page” option, sit back, and let Chrome entertain you with the written word.
Take Control of Your Reading Experience
Chrome’s “Listen to This Page” feature comes with a handy toolkit to tailor your listening experience to perfection. Adjust the reading speed to your preferred pace, from leisurely to brisk. Skip ahead or back by 10 seconds if you need to catch up or revisit something you missed. Pause, rewind, or fast forward whenever you feel like it.
Personalize Your Listening Journey
Not a fan of the default voice? Don’t worry! Chrome has got you covered. Choose from a variety of voices, each with its own unique tone and personality. Need to translate the content into your native language? No problem! The feature supports multiple languages, including English, French, German, Arabic, Hindi, and Spanish.
Compare to Other Options
While you can ask Google Assistant to read webpages to you, it takes you out of the Chrome app. And while Safari for iPhone has a similar “Listen to Page” feature, it doesn’t offer as many customizable options as Chrome’s implementation.
How to Access the “Listen to This Page” Feature
To access this exciting new feature, make sure you have the latest version of Chrome installed on your Android device. Once updated, head to any webpage with plenty of text. Tap the three dots menu in the top-right corner, and you should see the “Listen to This Page” option right below the “Translate” button.
Rolling Out the Red Carpet
Google is gradually rolling out the “Listen to This Page” feature, so not everyone may have it yet. However, if you don’t see it, keep updating your Chrome browser, and you’ll likely get it soon enough.
With the “Listen to This Page” feature, Chrome has made reading webpages an effortless and enjoyable experience. Whether you want to relax, multitask, or make your eyes take a break, this feature is your go-to companion for turning the written word into an auditory delight. So, get ready to listen up and let the voices of the web enchant you!
