Last updated: January 18th, 2024 at 13:03 UTC+01:00

As per a new report, Google Chrome will soon get its built-in ‘Listen to this page' TTS capability. The feature is fitted inside the Google Chrome Android app's three-dot overflow menu. You will find a new ‘Listen to this page' option in the three-dot menu option, tapping on which opens up a mini player.

The mini-player includes a circular play/pause button on the left, a page title, a site name, a progress bar, and a close button. Upon tapping the mini-player, it displays a new sheet UI that includes a full timeline that notes the article length and shows rewind and fast forward buttons. The Google Chrome ‘Listen to this page' TTS also lets you adjust the playback speed (0.5x, 0.8x, 1x, 1.2x, 1.5x, 2x, 3x, and 4x).

The ‘Listen to this page' TTS feature appears in Chrome beta v121

There are a couple of buttons on the right side that let you enable or disable “Highlight text & auto scroll” and choose a different voice. If you open another tab, the mini-player will remain docked. The playback will continue if you lock your device. Closing the browser to go back to the homescreen ends the ‘Listen to this page' TTS ability, which is the same behavior as the ‘Read aloud' on the Pixel 8 and Pixel 8 Pro.

As per 9To5Google, the ‘Read aloud' flag (chrome://flags/#read-aloud), this feature is just for Android, and it appears in Chrome 120, but in order to get the ‘Listen to this page' feature, you need to have the current Chrome beta 121.
