In addition to this, the company has added another interesting feature with ChromeOS 110 i.e., ‘Select-to-speak.’ When a user selects text and right-clicks on it. A menu will be presented with the option ‘Listen to the selected text.’ In the previous versions, the feature could be accessed via a separate browser tab.
