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.<\/p>\n<p>Android Authority\u2019s Mishaal Rahman spotted the feature on the stable version of Chrome for Android (version 140.0.7339.124), suggesting it\u2019s 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.<\/p>\n<p>To access Chrome\u2019s read-aloud feature on the Android app, open a web page, tap the More icon (three dots) at the top right, and select Listen to this page. The new Audio Overviews feature is available here. A new button in the Reading Mode overlay next to the playback speed option lets you toggle AI playback on or off.<\/p>\n<p> Don\u2019t want to miss the best from Android Authority?<\/p>\n<p>We previously <a href=\"https:\/\/www.androidauthority.com\/google-chrome-android-audio-overviews-3572189\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">reported<\/a> on this feature months ago when it was available in Chrome Canary, an experimental version of the browser that Google uses to test new features. After that, we also spotted AI audio overviews for Chrome on Android in a beta build of the app. Now, it looks like Google is finally rolling out the feature for regular users in the stable version.<\/p>\n<p>Notably, the feature is borrowed from Google\u2019s <a href=\"https:\/\/www.androidauthority.com\/using-notebooklm-in-daily-life-3592773\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">NotebookLM<\/a> app, which was the first to offer AI-generated <a href=\"https:\/\/www.androidauthority.com\/gemini-audio-overviews-2-3535847\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Audio Overviews<\/a> to turn long-form content into digestible podcasts. Back in March, Google also introduced <a href=\"https:\/\/www.androidauthority.com\/gemini-audio-overviews-2-3535847\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Audio Overviews in Gemini<\/a>, and now with its inclusion in Chrome, it\u2019s great to see the useful feature getting a wider audience.<\/p>\n<p>Thank you for being part of our community.
