There are a bunch of text-to-speech browser extensions, but I’ve found the experiences somewhat disjointed.Pocket is a good tool to save stories from the web for listening on a phone, but I found there were also many instances when I wanted to listen directly from the browser on my computer.I’ve used various apps and browser plugins over the years, some of them more seamless than others. In a world of distractions, following along with the text as it’s being read is one way of improving focus.
When writing or editing, the extra step of listening to the audio helps me catch missing or errant words, or notice awkward sentences I might otherwise miss.Combined with wireless headphones or earbuds, it’s a great way to get up from your desk and do something else (clean the room, stretch, brush your teeth, etc.), while the text is being read.I’ve long been a fan of text-to-speech for listening to articles and long emails.
