Chrome Features: Google has introduced a new Audio Overview feature in the Chrome browser for Android users, which makes long articles on web pages audible like a podcast. This facility is free and presents the essence of the content in a conversational style. Users can open any page, click the three-dot menu in the top right corner, and select ‘Listen to this page’. This feature is available in Chrome version 140.0.7339.124 and is being rolled out in phases, making studying and acquiring information even easier.
Chrome Update for Android Users
Google has launched a new Audio Overview feature in the Chrome browser for Android users. With this feature, users can listen to any webpage like a podcast. Long articles are now easier to listen to than to read, and this entire process is completely free. The new update provides narration in a conversational style, making it sound like two AI hosts are speaking.
From Read Aloud to Audio Overview
Previously, Chrome's Read Aloud option would read every word individually, whereas now, Audio Overview delivers only the key highlights of the content to the user with the help of AI. This feature was already available in the NotebookLM app, but now it has been incorporated into Chrome, making it accessible to all Android users. This makes understanding long articles and saving time easier.
How to Use
Using this feature is simple. Open any webpage, click on the three-dot menu in the top right corner, and select ‘Listen to this page’. Playback speed can also be controlled in the reading mode overlay. This feature is available in Chrome version 140.0.7339.124 and is being rolled out in phases.
