How do I listen to a LinkedIn post?
Install the ArticleAudio browser extension, open LinkedIn, and click the play button just left of the three-dot (…) menu at the top right of any post. ArticleAudio opens a truncated post for you and reads the full text in a natural voice. On a LinkedIn Article, the same button sits beside the Article’s menu, next to the author’s name.
Does LinkedIn have text to speech?
Only for Articles. LinkedIn offers Microsoft Immersive Reader for articles published directly on LinkedIn, and LinkedIn’s help page says it works only on the desktop website. Regular feed posts don’t have a built-in read-aloud option.
ArticleAudio covers both. It adds a listen button to posts and Articles, plays them in a small player on the page so you can keep scrolling, and uses the same voice and speed you use everywhere else on the web.

Posts
A listen button on every LinkedIn post
ArticleAudio puts a small play button just left of LinkedIn’s three-dot menu on each post in your feed, including posts that load as you scroll. It looks like LinkedIn’s own controls and turns orange when you hover over it.
- Reads the whole post. Long posts are cut off behind “…more”. ArticleAudio expands them before it starts, so you hear everything, not just the preview.
- Reads just the post. You hear the post’s text, not the reactions, comment counts, or buttons around it.
- Text only. Images, videos, and document carousels aren’t described, so mostly visual posts won’t have much to read.
Articles
Listen to LinkedIn Articles
Long-form LinkedIn Articles get their own listen button, next to the Article’s three-dot menu. ArticleAudio reads the title and then the body, including subheadings, lists, quotes, and image captions.
It leaves out everything that isn’t the Article: menus, buttons, and the recommended articles at the bottom of the page.
Reading a LinkedIn newsletter? If the edition opens as an Article (its link starts with linkedin.com/pulse/), you’ll see the same button.

What I learned running a fully remote team for five years
When our office closed, I assumed we’d lose the quick hallway conversations that kept projects moving. We did. What surprised me was what replaced them.

How to listen to LinkedIn with ArticleAudio
Step 1
Install ArticleAudio
Add the ArticleAudio extension to Chrome, Microsoft Edge, or Firefox on your computer.
Step 2
Open LinkedIn
Sign in at linkedin.com and scroll your feed, or open a LinkedIn Article.
Step 3
Click the play button

Listen to job posts, comments, and profiles
Anything without a listen button can still be read aloud. Select the text, then start playback in any of these ways:
- Click the orange play button that appears beside your selection (for 30 words or more).
- Press Shift+Tab with the default shortcut enabled.
- Right-click and choose Listen with ArticleAudio.
Comment threads
Some of the best discussion on LinkedIn happens in the comments. Select a long comment or reply to hear just that part.
Profiles
Select an About section or work history to listen to someone’s background before a meeting or interview.
Why listen to LinkedIn instead of reading it?
LinkedIn posts keep getting longer, and Articles can run to thousands of words. Listening lets you get through them without staring at one more screen of text.
Rest your eyes
Listen to long posts and Articles after a day of screens instead of reading one more wall of text.
Set your own pace
Choose any speed from 0.5x to 2.5x. Slow down for a dense Article, speed up for posts you’re skimming.
Natural voices
Pick from five natural AI voices, and switch the player between light and dark themes.
Posts in other languages
ArticleAudio detects the language and reads English, Spanish, French, Portuguese, Italian, and Chinese text in a matching voice.
Dyslexia, ADHD, and tired eyes
Listening can make long posts easier to get through when reading on screen takes extra effort.
Hide the buttons anytime
Don’t want them? Turn off the post and Article buttons separately in Settings → Website helpers.
Questions about listening to LinkedIn
