Reddit experiments with AI-voiced videos that read text posts and comments aloud
↗
Reddit is testing a feature that converts select text posts and comments into short videos narrated by AI voices, with text highlighted as it is read.
Only one feed is carrying this, and Reddit itself calls it an early, limited experiment, so its scope and longevity are uncertain. The feature formalizes a content format that already exists in unofficial channels, but introduces risks like mispronunciations or citing incorrect comments.

AI voices read the main post and some comments while highlighting text, with a label stating "Real conversation voiced by AI."
The experiment is live on the web and set to roll out on iOS and Android, starting with select existing posts and expanding over time.
CEO Steve Huffman referenced the feature in an earnings call, noting existing channels where AI voices read Reddit posts as an "emerging content type."
