Google presents the “Listen to this page” feature which will be available on Chrome on Android devices only. 9TO5 states that this text-to-speech (TTS) feature is now available on most text-heavy web pages.

This feature can be accessed from the three-dot menu on the Google Chrome Android App. Users have to tap on the “Listen to this page” option found right below “Translate”. A mini-player will appear with features such as play, pause, rewind, 10-second rewind and fast forward, adjustable playback speed and highlight auto-text and scroll. The playback continues even after opening other web pages or locking of device, and will only stop after when users exit the Chrome app. The TTS feature will resume from where it was left after relaunching the mini-player.

There are currently 4 voice options to choose from :

1. Ruby : Mid-pitch, Warm
2. River : Mid-pitch, Calm
3. Field : Low-pitch, Bright
4. Moss : Low-pitch, Peaceful

Besides English, this feature will also be available in languages such as Hindi, Bengali, Arabic, Chinese, French, German, Indonesian, Portuguese, Russian and Spanish.

It should be noted that Listen to this page is not available yet on every website. To check for availability, users can update their Chrome App and check for the Listen to this page option on Chrome’s menu bar.

Google is Developing an AI Authoring Tool for ChromeOS, Claims the report.

The post Google Rolls Out New “Listen to this page” Feature for Chrome Android Users appeared first on Tricky Enough.

Google appears to be developing a Chromebook writing and editing tool using artificial intelligence (AI)  The software giant is actively working on a project with at least five codenames, the major three of which are “Orca,” “Mako,” and “Manta,” according to 9To5Google.

Orca will appear in the right-click menu while editing a body of text in ChromeOS. The Mako UI will display in a “bubble” over the screen if users select Orca.

The code specifies three primary duties for Mako

In the beginning, it will have the option to “request rewrites” of a certain text, most likely one that an AI has already revised.

The paper stated: “Second, it can provide a list of ‘preset text questions,’ which we presume, in the context of generative AI, to be sample prompts for how to ask for a particular style.

Last but not least, Mako has the ability to “insert” the updated content into the original text, just where users left it off.

On the other side, the article stated that Manta will probably send users’ original content. And prompt to Google’s servers, which will then return the AI-enhanced version.

According to reports, the tech giant is preparing to release a new Android feature. That will enable users to connect their multiple Android devices together, much like Apple’s Continuity feature.

Features like “Call Switching,” enables users to switch between connected devices while on a call. And “Internet Sharing,” which enables users to rapidly create a personal hotspot among the connected devices, may be enabled.
