Google has added a new feature to Google Docs that allows you to turn any document into audio using AI, which means the document is will be “read aloud” to you.

Key Features

• You can listen to your document like audio (almost like a mini podcast version of your writing).
• You can choose different voices and change the reading speed.

This feature is not for everyone yet. It’s rolling out to people who have paid Google Workspace plans like:

• Business
• Enterprise
• Education
• Or users with the AI Pro or Ultra subscription

And also, It works only on desktop (laptop/computer) not mobile yet.

How To Use

As a reader:

• Open the shared Google Doc.
• Go to the Tools menu.
• Click on Audio > Listen to this tab.

As the author:

You can insert a play button inside the document: Go to Insert > Audio and choose the options you want.
