(For listeners)
With text-to-speech, you can listen to posts in the Substack app in just two steps.
Note: Text-to-speech is available on most but not on all publications.
1. Open the Substack App and tap on the play icon at the top right of your screen on a post.
2. The audio will automatically start playing in the app player.
Tips for text-to-speech:
- Just like a podcast episode or voiceover, the audio will play in the background unless you tap pause or fully exit/fully close the app i.e. remove it from your device's menu of open apps.
- If a Substack doesn't have text-to-speech available or on some older posts, you may see a message about how the post doesn't have audio when you tap the play icon.
Tip: Text-to-speech is only available on the Substack App and posts that are written in English.
