Chrome for Android now has the same Audio Overviews feature as NotebookLM

Forget those old, robotic 'Read aloud' voices.

Using two separate AI voices, the feature presents articles as a back-and-forth conversation, making content clearer and more accessible than a standard monotone read-aloud. This is a step up from basic text-to-speech, and it borrows heavily from Google’s NotebookLM and Gemini projects, where Audio Overviews first appeared before making their way into Chrome. To give it a try (assuming your device has it), open any webpage you’d like summarized, tap the three-dot menu, and select “Listen to this page.” In the playback controls, you’ll now see an option to switch to the Audio Overview mode instead of the standard read-aloud.
