G+_Marlon Thompson Posted August 5, 2014 Share Posted August 5, 2014 Felt like sharing a thing I sometimes do when I commute and don't want to get sick while reading in the bus or in a car. Originally shared by Marlon Thompson How to treat articles like podcasts Talking to someone today, I realized that they didn't know one of the secret features of "Pocket:Read it later" that is exclusive to Android. The ability to listen to your articles. During the day I may send a few articles to pocket through link bubble. When I am ready and I open an article in pocket in the settings menu you will see the option to listen to the article using your phones text to speech. You can vary the speed as well as skip back and forward a sentence or a paragraph. I used to have Ivona text to speech installed for a more pleasant listening experience and I was very partial to the female Australian voice. https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.ivona.tts Also if you have an Android wear watch you can pause/play the article and skip back and forward through the article. And that is how you treat articles like podcasts Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
