After previewing a feature for Google Assistant during CES in January that allows the virtual AI to read web pages out loud, Google began rolling the feature out to Android phones this week.
If you have Google Assistant on your Android phone, you can now listen to web pages instead of reading them, which Google notes should be especially useful for those who have reading or visual difficulties, as well as users who simply do not want to read a longform piece from start to finish. All you have to do to activate the feature is say “Hey Google, read it” or “Hey Google, read this page,” and the Assistant will immediately begin reading the text of the page in your browser. It will also scroll the page automatically and highlight words as they are read aloud.
