Previously I'd been selecting all text on the page manually (an arduous task) and using the "Speak" action menu. It turns out there's a better way.

1. Hit the `aA` button next to the URL bar and select "Show Reader" from the menu
2. Then hit that button _again_ and select "Listen to Page"
3. Hit that button a third time and you can control the Speaking rate, pause and skip forward or backwards by a short amount of time

I think this is a new feature. Sadly it only works on pages that support "Reader" mode - which tends to be most article pages, but it won't be shown for pages that do not have a detected single article on them.

The content read out loud is the same content as is displayed if you select "Show Reader".
