Get the current page as audio file (mp3)

‍

Sometimes you come across a juicy post or a detailed news article but don’t have time to read it at the moment. You could save the tab to read for later, but that article almost always gets forgotten.

‍

Instead, you can convert the text on the page into an audio file and play it right away with this automation. Alternatively, you can save it for when you drive or cook. 

‍

Go ahead! Click the “Try it!” button to see it in action. It will turn this text into an audio file you can play instantly.

‍

Step 1: Pin the playbook

‍

‍

First, click the “Pin it” button at the top of this page to save this automation. You will be redirected to download the browser extension if you don’t have the Bardeen extension installed. 

‍

Step 2: Run the playbook

‍

Press Option + B on your keyboard to wake Bardeen on the page you want to save. Run the playbook on the page you want to save as an audio file. It will automatically create a downloadable mp3 file based on the text on the page you select. You can play the audio on the spot or download it for later.

‍

You can also edit the playbook and add your following action to customize the automation further. You can upload the audio file to Google Drive or Dropbox, or send it to Slack, Email, or Notion.
