Read Text Aloud Like a Podcast
planned
mboyadjian
I would love to be able to select specific blocks of text (or the entire project), and have the option where Taskade reads the text aloud.
Use Case 1: I ask an agent to pull daily articles for me to review and I don't have time to read it, but I want to listen to it on the go like a podcast.
Use Case 2: My team built out a marketing brief and I want to review it, but I can't read it at that moment, so I ask an agent to pull out the key points of the article and read that part aloud to get a gist.
This would be a cool feature on both desktop and mobile devices!
Anyone else interested in this?

Love the use case you've described — having an AI agent pull daily articles and then being able to listen on the go instead of reading is a genuinely compelling workflow.
Text-to-speech / read-aloud isn't something we've shipped yet in the way you're describing (audio playback of task/document content), but this request is a great pointer to where we should take it. The podcast-style consumption angle in particular is something we haven't seen framed that way before.
In the meantime, Taskade Genesis (https://taskade.com/create) can power those research and article-pulling agents — you could pair the output with an external TTS tool as a bridge while we work toward native audio reading. Check the changelog (https://taskade.com/changelog) for audio-related updates as we ship them.
Your use case is exactly the kind of thing that shapes how we think about this feature — really appreciate you laying it out so clearly.
