Accessibility tips : Chrome Read Aloud

Google’s internet browser Chrome can now read web pages aloud.
Words on the page are highlighted to help you follow along. Read aloud is best for content like news stories, articles, or even PDFs.
- To use read aloud, right-click on a page, and select Open in reading mode. This opens the side panel, which has controls you can use for read aloud.
- Click the Play button.
- You can adjust the voice, speed, and highlight style in the toolbar next to the Play button.
