Reader View and read aloud
Reader View shows just an article’s text, in the font, size and colours you like, and can read it aloud.
Open Reader View
When Luma finds an article on a page, the Reader View button appears in the address bar. Click it, or press F9 or Ctrl+Alt+R, or choose ⋯ menu › Reader View. Press the same key, or Exit Reader View, to go back to the page.
The article opens with its site, title and an estimate of the reading time. Open original page takes you back to the site.

In Text and appearance, Voice chooses who reads. Automatic (article language) picks a voice that matches the article’s language among the voices available on your PC. Speed goes from ×0.5 to ×2.
