# X brings the "Listen" feature for listening to Articles on iOS, with support for read-aloud via Grok Voice
A new feature called "Listen," which lets users listen to Articles posted on X in audio form, has been implemented.
It leverages Grok Voice, allowing users to keep listening while opening an article and scrolling through the timeline, or even from the lock screen.
X Articles is a feature that allows long-form content to be published within the platform.
Only subscribers to the paid subscription service X Premium can post Articles, and posted Articles can be read and shared by anyone on X.
X Articles also allow embedded images, videos, GIFs, links, and more.
[Publishing articles directly within X is now available to all paid users; no longer requires the highest tier](https://roboin.io/article/en/2026/01/07/x-now-allows-all-paid-users-to-publish-articles-without-premium-plus/)
Nikita Bier, X's head of product, announced that [the Articles feature on X had grown 18-fold over the past three months and that a feature had been implemented to read Articles aloud using Grok Voice](https://x.com/nikitabier/status/2029980825262117177).
Grok Voice is a speech synthesis technology being developed by xAI, X's parent company, and is designed to enable natural-sounding conversation and read-aloud functionality.
"Listen" is being rolled out in the iOS app for popular articles in English, and it is expected to expand to other platforms soon.
