Google has released a newAndroid Chromeoption calledListen to this Page that plays a webpage out loud to you. While the feature is useful for anyone that doesn’t enjoy reading, it’s also a great accessibility addition to Google’s browser for those with visual impairments.
I tried 7 Chrome alternatives to see which browser is the best
If you feel like Chrome is a vampire draining data from your computer, there are alternative browsers. I tried these 7 to see what was the best.
The feature includes the same playback controls you’d find in audio-focused apps likeSpotifyor Pocket Casts, making it easy to jump to different points or skip forwards/backwards. Supported languages include English, French, German, Arabic, Hindi and Spanish, according toGoogle’s help page.
Like most feature releases, Listen to this Page isn’t available to everyone yet due to its gradual rollout, but it should hit yourAndroid devicesoon.
If you have Listen to this Page in Chrome, here’s how to use it
The option appears just below Translate
It’s worth noting that it was already possible to do this with Google Assistant, including the ability to translate website text into another language. However, to use this method, you need to leave Chrome and dive into the Google app. With Listen to this Page, you’re able to ask Chrome to read a page out loud to you directly from the browser.
Apple’s Safari browser for the iPhone offers a similar feature called ‘Listen to this Page.’
