The New York Times will read itself out loud
Around 10% of New York Times subscribers will be given a chance to try out the newspaper's new automated voice feature that reads articles aloud. Axios:
Narrations will be available on 75% of article pages that the Times publishes articles to start, with plans to eventually expand the feature to all published articles and all app users.
For now, all articles will be read aloud by the same automated voice. In the future, Preiss says, the Times is hoping to deliver a more personalized experience, which could include giving users the option to select a style of voice narration or customize their narrated article feed.
