Latest reviews

(2024-10-08) LISVALDO: Streamlined tool and excellent voice quality.
(2024-10-07) Wilmer: Does not work well with large PDF, have to use the picture function. For a paid service I expect this little kinks to be resolved and taken care of. Thank you.
(2024-10-06) Adam: An amazing addition to MS Edge, when it works. A few times a year I have experienced this app stops working, most often when trying to read posts w/in Reddit. Also, I don't like the large onscreen menu that the app insists that it must be present on the page, or not use any of the apps' browser features. Why, I hate seeing that menu. Let me minimize, or close it when I'm browsing.
(2024-10-01) Hisham: It doesn't recognize a Word document on the web and won't read unless I take a screenshot
(2024-09-30) Rocky: PROS All around, Speechify is a great tool to add to help reading and studying. It's a cheat code to anyone who has that book collection, or a reading addiction. A lot of languages to choose from, and the speed helps improve reading performance. The customer support is helpful and friendly. CONS I wish the word count would sync web reading count with mobile app count. There is also a 400,000-word limit that is not mentioned in the subscription. AI voices chop in and out at times.
(2024-09-09) Roy: Natural sounding voice. Works really well.
(2024-09-08) Walter: Helpful but UI isn't great. I want to change the speed but I can't. I click to do so, and the widget just moves around with my mouse. I have to right click to stop making it move and can't adjust any features on it.
(2024-09-03) Julissa: so convenient!
(2024-08-19) Joshua: It saves me so much time. All I have to do is close my eyes and listen.
(2024-08-12) Cecilia: So far so good. I have to use Speechify for a session this week so I'm hoping it works.
(2024-08-12) Timothy: There's a unique charm in hearing someone with an aged British accent reading, especially when it's about compelling topics. The browser extensions in different browsers make interaction incredibly simple. Initially, I found it challenging to acclimate, but investing time in watching tutorials or step-by-step instructions proved to be useful. This tool is a game-changer for individuals like me, living with ADHD, who struggle with reading and maintaining focus, especially on lengthy and intricate subjects. I was initially considering a four-star rating, but this, along with my grammar app, has been life-changing, prompting me to upgrade to five stars.
(2024-08-07) Rich: Exceptional tool and who doesn't love Snoop Dawg reading the news to them!
(2024-07-31) Thaddeus: Good stable TTS Integration. Tghey are all a little buggy but every TTS integration with various speech engines will have bugs. Most of the time it works and the quality of the new engines.are incredible ls so much easier to listen to.
(2024-07-19) Erna: perfect extension. I use beta function to clone someone's voice, amazing.
(2024-07-09) Jesse: This app has been such a massive help in my studies. I love that I can utilize it at home on my PC as well as on my phone.
(2024-06-27) Udo: Just pay the yearly fee and enjoy, they've recently added the custom voice feature to work with the extension so now you do not need to send everything to Speechify, then go to the app/website and then wait for your content to be processed. Now I can use my custom voice in the extension.
(2024-06-17) dale: Best speech-text within web-browsing. I am very impressed with the ability of this app to be able to adjust speed, pay attention to details and assist in major assignments. This is a functional must have for anyone. Only issue I have is that it does not yet have a windows app, but it does play well with MAC (although I do not).
(2024-06-07) Roman: Macht soweit einen Ordentlichen Eindruck. Ich brauchte selber zwar etwas an Zeit, um mich einzugewöhnen, aber das lag ja an mir. 😉
(2024-06-03) Tamer: can't live without it :)
(2024-05-30) Never: this is an exceptional plug-in the best that I found for a text to speech
(2024-05-24) Igor: Fantastic plugin. I use it all the time for reading my Kindle Cloud books. It is getting smarter and smarter too - not skipping over sentences or jumping paragraphs :). I just wish they had more human-like sounding narration, instead of robots...
(2024-04-23) Mangaki: I don't know what happened but I'm experiencing the same challenges as other users and subscribers. What happened? Could we please get this fixed? I'm thinking it might be Copilot interfering with Speechify.
(2024-03-29) Adam: A recent change made reading Reddit posts no longer work. The "Listen" but, that used to display about the title of the post now sits on the bottom. When you click the button, it reads the headline only. Up until now, this extension has been pretty great.
(2024-03-24) wef: its great but last weeks this extension has a bug but now it fixed and its total useful for me
(2024-03-06) Lakita: I hope all is well with you. I'm currently exploring avenues to enhance my business portfolio through strategic investments in Chrome extensions, and I've been particularly impressed with yours. I believe there's a tremendous opportunity for growth and would love to discuss the possibility of acquisition.

(2024-03-03) Rose: I love it! I'm a writer and speechify allows me to edit at the speed of light. Or at 1.5x but it feels like the speed of light. My only complaint is the lack of US black women voices. We need more black women variety and more sexy voices.
(2024-02-24) Margret: very good, worth it.
(2024-02-24) karim: very helpful
(2024-02-12) Christopher: I love the boost in productivity, and the accessibility it grants me... I always lose focus when reading traditionally, but this keeps me on track and helps me get through classes I'd never finish without it.
(2024-02-10) MafiaX30: amazing program. Been using it for several years now. Authentic sounding voices.
(2024-01-18) Michael: This is an amazing program, I can preview text after composing a script to get a feel for how my writing may sound pre-production.
(2024-01-16) e46645: 一直在用 ilink网络加速器中国人不骗中国人看youtube的4K高清一点都不卡直接在商店就可以搜到
(2024-01-15) Darvon: it's slower then edge's own text-to-speech services. that's got to said something for the product in question.
(2024-01-14) e46645: 一直在用 ilink网络加速器中国人不骗中国人看youtube的4K高清一点都不卡直接在商店就可以搜到
(2024-01-12) e46645: 终于找到一个可以免费看谷歌和youtube的扩展了直接搜索 ilink网络加速器请叫我雷锋
(2024-01-08) e38112: 终于找到一个可以免费看谷歌和youtube的扩展了直接搜索 ilink网络加速器请叫我雷锋
(2023-12-30) Jerry: just about a week now love this voice-over.
(2023-12-24) Duane: I'm really enjoying the Speechify app. It allows me to read and work at the same time. The voices are clear and the pronunciation is really good. I'm very impressed that Speechify can pronounce medical and chemical related terminology with ease. I highly recommend Speechify!
(2023-12-17) Curtis: This application is great! I have dyslexia and this application levels the playing field for me! It is hard to believe that there are only 13 reviews, because this is a 5 Star application. Thank you Speechify!
(2023-10-02) Bao: Best extension I ever have. Saved me thousands of hours of reading.
(2023-09-14) Jonathan: This thing is broken. On some webpages, when I click play, it plays but when I try to click pause it doesn't pause and when I try refreshing the page, it still plays the audio. I wouldn't think about getting premium until this is fixed. I go to college and work so this thing not working is a highly inconvenience for my time management.
