Accra Street Journal has introduced a new Listen to This Article feature done by SamBoad Media Consult Team, giving readers another convenient way to enjoy stories published on the platform. Instead of relying entirely on reading, visitors can now listen to articles using an audio playback option built directly into the website.
The feature is designed to make accessing news easier, more flexible and more inclusive. Readers can simply open an article, select the listening option and have the story read aloud to them.
The introduction of this feature is particularly useful for people with visual impairments, readers who experience difficulty reading long passages of text, and individuals who may find listening more convenient than reading. It also provides an alternative for people who prefer to consume news while carrying out other activities.
With the audio feature, readers can listen to an article, pause playback when necessary, resume where they left off or stop the reading altogether. They can also adjust the playback speed to suit their listening preference.
The experience includes an audio news presentation introduced by Amma, the voice presenter for the feature. Each selected article begins with a brief Accra Street Journal introduction before moving into the actual story and concluding with a short sign-off.
Readers should note that audio playback depends on their browser and device supporting speech synthesis. The voice available may therefore differ depending on the device being used.
For Accra Street Journal, the addition reflects an ongoing effort to improve the reader experience and make published information accessible through different formats. Not everyone consumes information in the same way, and providing an audio option gives visitors greater flexibility in how they engage with the publication.
Whether someone is commuting, working, resting or simply prefers listening to reading, the feature offers another way to stay informed.
The Listen to This Article option is available on individual article pages. Readers can look out for the audio player near the beginning of a story and use its controls to start listening.
Accra Street Journal will continue exploring ways to make its journalism more accessible, useful and convenient for its growing readership.
