News read by an automated voice

The General Secretariat of the Council of the European Union, in cooperation with the Cyprus presidency of the Council of the European Union, offers you the option of listening to most news as soon as they are published, improving accessibility and providing another way to engage with the site content. This feature uses an automated voice, which may result in occasional errors in pronunciation, tone, or feeling.

Listen using an automated voice

Open the news item you wish to listen to and select the “Listen to this news” button located at the top of the page. The audio will stop playing when you navigate to other pages of the website.

Feedback on the automated voice

We appreciate your feedback and want to hear what makes the automated voice successful and how this option could be improved. Please tell us what you think.
