This service enables reading web pages using<br \/>\n  text-to-speech (TTS). This service is activated when an end user has TTS enabled and visits a<br \/>\n  page. The Read Aloud service is used by<br \/>\n  <a href=\"https:\/\/www.blog.google\/technology\/next-billion-users\/make-google-read-it\/\" class=\"external-link\">Google Go<\/a>,<br \/>\n  <a href=\"https:\/\/developers.google.com\/assistant\/app\/read-it\" class=\"external-link\">Google Read it<\/a>,<br \/>\n  <a href=\"https:\/\/support.google.com\/websearch\/answer\/10078840\" class=\"external-link\"><br \/>\n  Read Aloud on the Google app<\/a>, and other Google text-to-speech services.\n<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"crawling\" tabindex=\"-1\">Crawl frequency and behavior<\/h2>\n<p>\n  Google Read Aloud is triggered by a user request. Google Read Aloud conserves bandwidth by<br \/>\n  caching page results, but you may still see multiple requests for a given page.\n<\/p>\n<p>\n  Google Read Aloud is not a web crawler: it is activated upon user request, and it doesn&#8217;t follow<br \/>\n  links. Google Read Aloud uses stateless rendering to view the page like a user would.<br \/>\n  In particular, it doesn&#8217;t use the user&#8217;s cookies.<br \/>\n  A user request for listening to a web page may or may not result in page visits, depending<br \/>\n  on whether the page has been fetched recently.\n<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"prevent\" tabindex=\"-1\">Reduce Google Read Aloud requests<\/h2>\n<p>\n  Since Google Read Aloud is initiated by a user, not a result of automated web crawl, you can&#8217;t opt<br \/>\n  out by using a robots.txt file. To opt out of Google Read Aloud functionality, use the<br \/>\n  <code>nopagereadaloud<\/code> <code>meta<\/code> tag:\n<\/p>\n<div><\/div>\n<p>\n  In order to recognize meta tags on a page, Google Read Aloud may proactively access and render<br \/>\n  the page with its embedded resources. Once the meta tag has been recognized on a page, the<br \/>\n  number of future requests will be reduced automatically.\n<\/p>\n<p>\n  To prevent paywalled content from being read aloud, use<br \/>\n  <a href=\"https:\/\/alienroad.com\/google-bilgi-bankasi\/structured-data-for-subscription-and-paywalled-content-creativework\/\" class=\"external-link\">structured data for subscription and paywalled content<\/a>.<br \/>\n  Make sure the <code>isAccessibleForFree<\/code> property is set to <code>False<\/code>.\n<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"what-is-the-google-speakr-agent\" tabindex=\"-1\">What is the <code>google-speakr<\/code> agent?<\/h2>\n<p>\n  The <code>google-speakr<\/code> agent is an older, deprecated version of the user agent.
