The feature adds a “Listen to text” option to the Kagi Translate browser extension that speaks the text of any webpage using Kagi’s high‑quality voices. It is meant for accessibility and convenience, letting users consume articles hands‑free or while multitasking. It streamlines existing workflows by keeping text‑to‑speech inside the browser instead of relying on separate tools. The experience is simple and unobtrusive: a small player provides play/pause, speed, and voice controls, and the extension can focus on the main article or read user‑selected text.
A typical use is to open a page, click the Kagi Translate extension, and press “Listen to text” to hear the article. Users can choose to read the main content, the entire page, or only what they’ve highlighted, and a mini player appears with controls to pause/resume, change speed, switch voices, or skip ahead. They can also right‑click a paragraph to start reading from that point or to read just a selection. Similar capabilities exist in Microsoft Edge’s Read Aloud, Safari’s Speak Selection, and Pocket’s Listen, so the interaction will feel familiar while benefiting from Kagi’s voice quality.
