Bardeen's "Get the current page as audio file (mp3)" playbook is a powerful tool that enables you to convert the text content of any webpage into an audio file. This could be particularly useful for multitasking, or for people with visual impairments, or simply for those who prefer to consume content in audio format.

Here is how this workflow works:

  1. Get Current Page as HTML: Bardeen pulls the HTML of the current page you're viewing. This is the first step in extracting the text content.
  2. Convert HTML to Text: The HTML obtained from the previous step is then converted into plain text. This removes all the HTML tags and leaves behind the readable content.
  3. Convert Text to Speech: Finally, Bardeen converts the plain text into an mp3 audio file. This audio file can then be played or downloaded for later use.

How to run the playbook

Sometimes you come across a juicy post or a detailed news article but don’t have time to read it at the moment. You could save the tab to read for later, but that article almost always gets forgotten.

Instead, you can convert the text on the page into an audio file and play it right away with this automation. Alternatively, you can save it for when you drive or cook. 

Go ahead! Click the “Try it!” button to see it in action. It will turn this text into an audio file you can play instantly.

Step 1: Pin the playbook

First, click the “Pin it” button at the top of this page to save this automation. You will be redirected to download the browser extension if you don’t have the Bardeen extension installed. 

Step 2: Run the playbook

Press Option + B on your keyboard to wake Bardeen on the page you want to save. Run the playbook on the page you want to save as an audio file. It will automatically create a downloadable mp3 file based on the text on the page you select. You can play the audio on the spot or download it for later.

You can also edit the playbook and add your following action to customize the automation further. You can upload the audio file to Google Drive or Dropbox, or send it to Slack, Email, or Notion.
