How to listen to anything

You can listen to anything. An article you saved, a long email, a page that is hard to read on a small screen — any of it can be read to you out loud. The trick is knowing the two simple moves.

The first move is the big play button. Press it once and ReadAloud reads the whole page from the top, following along and lighting up each sentence as it goes. That is the fastest way to start: open something, press play, and listen.

The second move is even more useful. Select any text you want — a single paragraph, a quote, a recipe step — then press play, and only that part is read aloud. Try it here: highlight a sentence in this article and listen to just those words.

That is the whole idea. Press play for everything, or select first to hear exactly what you choose. Once it feels natural, you can listen to anything on the web the same way.
