See what happens, there are people who like to gather information from the internet and they like to read a lot of new articles on the internet and collect information, but they also have a bad habit that they do not like to read articles for long and get bored. Rather, it is better if they can collect information by listening to an article or a voice, so a podcast is for them where you do not have to read any internet article but you can directly listen to a voice. Through this, we can collect the information by listening to it. That is why podcasts are becoming very popular among us, especially if we see; podcasts have become quite popular in western culture. So, today's article is basically on how you can listen to any website content or article instead of reading it, rather like a podcast with the help of Google Chrome extension.

If you use Google Chrome as the default web browser in your Windows computer, then it is fine. If not, then I request you to first go to the official website of Google Chrome and download the latest version of Google Chrome. And if you are already a user of Google Chrome and you use it as the default web browser but still it is outdated, then first update the software from its official website. After that, we will add an extension on our web browser and with the help of this extension; we can easily listen to any website content as a podcast and collect information as per our need.
So, first of all, open your updated Google Chrome web browser and login with your desired Gmail account. After this, you simply have to go to “google.com” and there you have to type “Chrome Web Store”. In the results that will appear in Google, go to the first option, open it. When you are on the Chrome Web Store page, simply type “article to speech” in the search bar area. You will be shown some results. Here the extension that we will add on our Google Chrome web browser is named "Speechify".
So first of all, open the extension and there you will get an option “Add to Chrome”, click on that option and add this extension to your Chrome web browser. Whenever that extension is added to your Google Chrome, what to do is simply, look at the top of your Chrome web browser, there is an option on the right corner called extension. Click on that, then click on the extension. If the specified website asks you to sign up, then you can simply sign up with your Gmail account, that's all you have to do and after that you can open any article on any website. And you can listen to it in voice instead of reading it, As soon as you add this extension; it will show a small blue colour play button on the side of the paragraph, click on play and keep listening to the article as a podcast.
