Recommend a web article to speech tool

2•a99c43f2d565504•1mo ago
I'd like to give a URL to an article to some app and have it read the article out loud to me. I tried the Android apps of ChatGPT and Gemini already but neither of them could do it. ChatGPT provided me with a text input element in the speech mode but said that it can't read the article out loud: It could only summarize it. Gemini wasn't even aware of its own interface: It kept asking for the URL in a chat, which doesn't exist in the speech mode where we were communicating. It then started speculating about how websites typically work which has notning to do with our interaction.

Is there some app that could do what I ask for: I give a URL, and the app reads the article out loud, preferably in the background i.e. in such a way that I can turn off the screen of my Android phone while it keeps reading.

Note also that the app should be smart enough to realize what is the interesting content on the web page, i.e. not read out loud any irrelevant headers and sidebars and footers and menus etc.
