Chrome for Android can now read webpages like a podcast

Chrome for Android is now getting a new AI-powered upgrade for its Read Aloud feature. Instead of just reading out the full text of a webpage, the browser can now use AI to generate an Audio Overview for the content that works like a podcast.

Android Authority’s Mishaal Rahman spotted the feature on the stable version of Chrome for Android (version 140.0.7339.124), suggesting it’s starting to roll out more widely. When enabled, the AI creates a summary of the webpage and plays it back like a podcast conversation between two AI hosts. The point is to turn any article or boring block of text into a quick, interactive listening experience.
