The ability to listen to articles can be triggered in two different ways. I would say, however, that Siri doesn’t sound as good as Omnivore’s ultra-quality voices, currently in beta.
Articles are spoken aloud by Siri’s improved voice, which, at least to my ears, sounds more natural and pleasant (in terms of cadence and pronunciation) than Matter or Readwise’s similar text-to-speech features. This functionality allows you to catch up on unread articles on the go by listening to them rather than reading, which can be very handy if you’re, say, grocery shopping while wearing AirPods or driving. Reading in Safari comes with another great new perk in iOS and iPadOS 17: the ability to listen to articles. The latter point means I can read my articles while taking advantage of Safari extensions and all my shortcuts enabled for share sheet use. Still, despite the lack of substantial updates, the core benefit of Reading List remains: it’s integrated everywhere system-wide, syncs in the background across devices with iCloud, and it’s a feature of Safari itself. More importantly, however, the way these widgets have been designed doesn’t quite work for me: by default, Reading List widgets show you unread articles, and as soon as you tap one and open it in Safari, it gets automatically marked as read and removed from the widget – even if you haven’t actually read the story in its entirety yet. For instance, it’s still impossible to tag articles in Reading List, which means you can’t configure the widget to show you a specific subset of stories (which is something you can do with, say, GoodLinks). While I’m happy to see Reading List widgets as a sort of confirmation that Apple is still aware of Reading List’s existence, I wish the company had done more.
