Natural text to speech turns a long read into audio you can take with you.
The short answer
Can Firefox read webpages aloud?
Yes. A Firefox text-to-speech add-on can turn the words on a webpage into spoken audio. With ArticleAudio installed, you can listen to a full page where supported or highlight a specific passage and hear only that selection.
That makes read-aloud useful for long articles, research, newsletters, and other text-heavy pages. ArticleAudio works inside Firefox, so you can keep the original page open instead of copying its text into a separate reader.
ArticleAudio is a text-to-speech listening tool. It does not replace a full screen reader or Firefox accessibility features that provide navigation and interface context.
