Reddit is testing a feature that converts certain text posts into short AI-generated videos and audio. The trial uses synthetic voices to read the main post text and selected comments, with some clips presented using visual highlighting.
According to multiple outlets, the test begins on the web and then rolls out to the iOS and Android apps shortly afterward. The feature appears as a “Read/Play” or similar toggle above eligible posts. Coverage also agrees that the experiment currently applies to a limited sample of communities and English-language content.
Outlets describe the formats slightly differently—some highlight video plus audio, while others emphasize audio/video or “podcasts and short videos.” Times of India and other reports note that Reddit leadership points to the popularity of existing Reddit-reading channels online as context for the experiment.
