How do I have an answer read aloud?

Use our text-to-speech feature to listen to any Magisterium AI response.

Mar 15, 2024

Every Magisterium AI answer can be read aloud on Pro, Organization, and Large Organization plans, so you can listen while you walk, commute, or pray.

Listen / TTS requires a paid plan. On Free, the speaker icon directs you to the Plan page when you click it.

Listen to an answer

  1. Send a prompt and wait for the response to finish.
  2. Under the answer, click the speaker icon in the action row.
  3. Playback begins. Click the icon again to stop.

From left to right: a 'References' button, then six round icon buttons — thumbs-up, thumbs-down, copy, share, pin, print — and finally the speaker icon (Listen / read this answer aloud) on the far right. Clicking the speaker plays a text-to-speech rendering of the answer.

Surrounding sections (Theme, Language, Autosuggest, General Newsletters) are visible above and below for context.

Listen vs Voice Mode

This feature reads an existing written answer aloud. If you'd rather have a live spoken conversation — speak your question, hear the AI answer out loud, and interrupt to follow up — use Voice Mode instead. See Using Voice Mode.

Troubleshooting

  • No sound. Check your system volume and that the browser tab isn't muted.
  • Icon is missing on one answer. The Listen control isn't shown on messages created in Voice Mode — those were already spoken.
