Have any page or text selection read aloud to you

We're continually blown away by what you can do when you combine Ask Steve with the power of a workflow automation system like n8n.

Jim Le put together this n8n flow that enables you to ask Ask Steve to read any text to you.

Call the "Read this to me" Skill on any page or text selection, and it will call a flow that:

• Sends the text to ElevenLabs, which will turn the text to speech and return a file
• Uploads the file to Cloudinary for hosting, since we need a URL that we can link in HTML
• Construct and return the HTML for an audio player to Ask Steve

At which point Ask Steve will autoplay the speech. 🗣️

You can imagine that you could also have it message the file to you or add it to a queue for later listening. "Read it later" becomes "Read it TO ME later".
