Google Chrome has introduced its native ‘Listen to this page’ text-to-speech (TTS) functionality. This feature is accessible within the three-dot menu of the Google Chrome Android app.
The mini-player has a circular play/pause button positioned on the left side, accompanied by the page title, site name, a progress bar, and a close button. Upon tapping the mini-player, users are presented with a new sheet UI, showcasing a detailed timeline indicating the article’s length, along with rewind and fast forward controls.
Additionally, the ‘Listen to this page’ TTS feature offers the ability to adjust playback speed, ranging from 0.5x to 4x.
