Playing text to speech

Most people use Wikipedia to get information on any subject. This platform has been a part of the routine of Internet users for the last 20 years. Now, after 10 years, the company is going to change its desktop design so that people can easily browse its content (Content Browsing). However, the new changes will be implemented by 2021.

Wikimedia Foundation, the parent company that runs Wikipedia, has announced in a blog post that in the new look, users will also get to read content on Wikipedia in their own language. If the content is in another language, which you do not understand and want to read it, then the language will be changed with an easy click button. 

The new design will have a menu for Table of Contents, so that users do not have to scroll through the entire page. Users will be able to go and read their favorite content directly. Wikipedia will also add improvements to the in-site search tool to make it easier to find other pages, and the logo will be reconfigured to make it smaller on each Wikipedia page
