ABS-CBN News app now allows user to listen to articles while on the go

If you want to get the latest news without reading them while in transit going to work or home, the ABS-CBN News app's latest feature might be for you.

Listen to article feature now available on ABS-CBN News app

Look for stories using voice search

Filipinos can now listen to the articles being read and search for stories using their voice while using the ABS-CBN News App.

The app has been enhanced and is now able to read news stories to users who may not have the time or capability to read the articles, like those who are on the go or are multitasking.

To activate the feature, users simply need to click on the "listen to article" icon in the menu located at the top of the screen and a voice will immediately read out the text.

On the other hand, users can now also look for stories using the new voice search function. This feature can be activated by tapping on the microphone button on the upper left side of the app's screen. However, please note that this is currently available on Android devices with text-to-speech functions only.

Once the prompt "Speak Now" appears, the user can mention the topic or keywords of the story he or she is looking for and the results will appear thereafter. Users can also use this feature to listen to articles by saying the word "play" followed by "Top Stories", "Editor’s Pick" or "Article".
