Google might be trying another feature in search for its featured snippets & Knowledge panels to read the content for you. Manikandan shared a screen shot with Barry Schwartz on Twitter of Google Search showing a button that peruses “Hear This Out Loud” in the featured snippet box enclose in Google Search.

Here is the Tweet shared by Manikandan
@rustybrick I see something new in #GoogleSERP #hearthisoutloud button in Desktop.
Is this because of the Speakable (BETA)?
Is this any test or an existing feature?
