- [Garrick] These days, the sheer number of articles,

papers, and other content we want or need to read

or other information that's relevant to our work

So today, I want to look at a Google Chrome extension

called Podcastle AI that uses text to speech

What makes Podcastle different than other solutions

like your operating system's text-to-speech feature

is that it uses more realistic sounding human speech,

and it also makes it easy to download the audio content

so you can take it with you on your mobile device

to listen in the car or on a commute or while working out,

and click Get started to go to the Chrome Web Store.

and when you're ready, click Add to Chrome.

I'll confirm that I do want to add this extension.

And now you can see its icon has been added to my toolbar.

to pin that to my toolbar so I can always see it.

Now this does require you to sign up for a free account,

so the first time you click the extension,

I already have an account, so I'll click Sign In.

So now anytime I come across an article that I want to read

is key for both professional and personal growth,

whether that's focusing on growing the necessary skills

to stand out in the candidate pool for...

it just started reading the article to me.

like playing the audio back at a slower or faster speed.

We can choose between two different voices.

is that you can click the download button

to download the article as an MP3 to your computer.

to your preferred podcast or media player on your phone

so you can listen to the article on the go

Now, one limitation I see is that Podcastle

is only available in English at the moment,

to convert other languages into audio as well.
