For our readers, we have again significantly expanded the experience of our news: because the articles can no longer just be read – they can also be listened to. With just one click you can enjoy current articles on krone.at with audio – on the go, at home or at work. Try it yourself and let krone.at read this article to you!
Listening instead of just reading and seeing, according to current research, increasingly corresponds to contemporary consumer behavior. With smartphones and tablets, playback devices are available anytime, anywhere. There is hardly a passenger on the morning subway who does not have headphones in his ears. Even if they don’t all hear the news now: there are more.
Convenience and inclusion are key
The introduction of the text-to-speech feature is therefore an important step forward for krone.at in the way our readers consume news. krone.at thus marks a new milestone in terms of accessibility and once again confirms the aim of using innovative technologies to inspire readers and to offer high-quality news content. The focus is always on making news consumption as pleasant and accessible as possible.
How does it work?
The new text-to-speech feature is so simple: click the audio icon below the first paragraph of the article and it will start playing. Paragraphs can be reached and skipped using the arrow keys. This makes news consumption even more flexible and convenient.
Try it!
Experience the new way of consuming news on krone.at – with Text to Speech, reading and listening merge into a whole new information experience!
To further improve the new feature, you as a reader also have the option to answer some short questions directly in the audio player under “Tell us your opinion”. Tell us what you like about Text-to-Speech and what you think could be improved. We look forward to your feedback!
