Google Chrome is testing this Microsoft Edge-like feature

Google has been working to enhance the browsing experience on its Chrome browser. The company is reportedly testing a “read aloud” function on the desktop app. The feature is currently available for testing in the Canary version.

The feature is already present in Microsoft Edge and allows users to step away from the screen and listen to content on the screen while performing other tasks. This feature also improves reading comprehension by hearing content. The feature is available in a variety of natural-sounding voices and accents.

Google’s read aloud feature will also perform a similar task. According to a report by Bleeping Computer, there’s also an adjustable playback speed.
