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.

This seems like a very popular Chrome extension for listening to articles. Did well in the Product Hunt launch 😊

I was going to recommend this when I saw the question. But you already did. This is definitely the best extension to listen to Medium articles.Play

Simply click 'option' key twice and it'll read anything you have highlighted at any speed you'd like! Great for getting through emails, articles and anything else you might need. Also works on your phone and in other languages :)
Huge time saver, like listening to a Podcast or an Audible at 2x speed!

The team that made Play for Medium launched a version that works for all websites. Unfortunately it still sounds like a robot and doesn't support MP3 downloading.
