You can listen to many high quality articles from medium.
Kunal Bhatia- Co-founder & Design Lead @SlidesUp
I use Play.ht for providing audio for my Medium readers. They are robotic voices, but it gets the job done and it's very easy to get started. You can even embed the player inside your own articles.
Niv Dror- Words @ProductHunt & @AngelList
This seems like a very popular Chrome extension for listening to articles. Did well in the Product Hunt launch 😊
The Writing Cooperative
And how Play.ht is helping them do it... You might be wondering, why add an audio narration to articles?

Let's face it. Sometimes there's nothing interesting on the web. We click through a tired routine of sites looking for something for our minds to consume. Some people get immersed in the news, others follow their favorite internet icons, or maybe they just kick back watching documentaries on YouTube.

In this article I'll share with you how I validated a fresh idea, by focusing on metrics instead of lines of code; did that in 3 months, instead of 2.5+ years (like in my previous startup); got accepted in Y Combinator's Startup School and... all that while traveling across San Francisco, Singapore and Bali.

Instead of reading the news, enjoy it being read to you! Plus, it's read to you in a friendly human voice (instead of a robot voice, because as much as I like Alexa and Siri, they don't have the same finesse).
