Keeping up with the emerging trends and technologies in the realm of web content, Pakistan Stock Exchange (PSX) launched Text-to-Speech feature on its website.
The integration of the feature is primarily executed for the website sections comprising blogs and articles, ensuring better ease of access for website visitors looking for specific content on the PSX website.
Just like it commonly helps users in finding something on the web using voice commands on a smartphone, the Text-to-Speech feature would prove to be immensely fruitful for those more prone to listen content rather than read.

Moreover, the feature would also serve as a virtual assistant for traders with visual impairment, reading difficulties, or simply for people who prefer indulging in multitasking and thereby are more likely to listen to the content.
