Chrome on Android can read web pages aloud in the app

Google is rolling out a new option called “Listen to this page” that can read a web page aloud to you in the Android Chrome browser. The feature comes with playback controls similar to what you find on music or podcast players, allowing you to pause, change the reading speed, skip forward or backward 10 seconds at a time.

You can also change the voice used as well as the language. The feature supports several languages, including English, French, German, Arabic, Hindi and Spanish, according to a Google help page about the feature. To see if you have it, go to a page with a lot of text, tap the three-dot menu and tap “Listen to this page,” which should appear just below the Translate option.
