Text to voice (reader) for threads + ugc

While on a walk yesterday, I wanted to learn about the Spain/Portugal blackout. Hacker News had a great thread on the blackout. I used ElevenReader (amazing product by @ElevenLabs) to listen to the thread. Overall, it worked great, but:

  • The reader treated new comments as just new paragraphs. So I had no idea when the reader transitioned between comments/responses. Usernames of commenters were not mentioned.

  • Urls were read out fully. This is brutal.

  • It would be awesome to skip to next comment with a voice command.

Any product recommendations for this? Or maybe @ElevenLabs is already thinking about this?
