- Logan Wingard
- only approved TTS/web reader approved in our environment and it requires a log in to use. Log in hangs in our corporate environment. We cannot use this tool.
- Khaled Elawady
- Very good text reader
- DEDE DEDE
- This is a great app and extension when they work properly. But it is often glitchy which is frustrating since I am paying for premium. Otherwise world give it a five and since there is no four and a half I will give it a four.

- Crystal GK
- It never logs in. I've cleared my cookies, restarted, tried everything. It will download and log in on Edge, but doesn't work on Chrome.
- Alex Nirmal
- I've been using Speechify's Text-to-Speech Chrome extension for some time, and it has become an essential part of my daily reading workflow. What I love most is how simple and intuitive it is to use. Unlike many other text-to-speech tools that are packed with complicated settings and features, Speechify keeps everything straightforward while still delivering an excellent experience. Being able to listen to content while reading along has significantly improved my comprehension and retention. Whether I'm reading articles, documents, or web pages, the extension works seamlessly and helps me stay focused. I've tried several similar apps and extensions, but Speechify stands out because of its ease of use, clean interface, and reliable performance. It's one of those tools that you start using for one task and eventually find yourself using everywhere. Highly recommended for anyone who wants to read smarter and absorb information more effectively!
- Mike Barnes
- I use this on my phone and pc both. I've never had any issues with it. I mainly use it too help me proof read documents and emails as spell checkers frequently miss the errors I make due to my dyslexia and more recent brain injury.

- Speechify is one of those tools I ended up using way more than I expected. I have Premium and use it across all of my devices, and it’s made a huge difference in how I get through emails, articles, and course materials. The voices sound great, the syncing is smooth, and overall, it just makes everything easier. I’ve tried plenty of productivity apps over the years, and this is easily one of the best subscriptions I pay for. It actually does what it promises, and I use it every day.
- cyber devil
- 0 stars YOU NEVER SHOULD HAVE TO PAY OR LOGIN FOR A SIMPLE TEXT TO SPEECH! It's lunacy people give good ratings for this!! I'm tired being a cybersecurity worker telling people for nearly a decade and a half to NOT GIVE DATA TO RANDOM APPS! This is why everyone gets hacked! This is why we have no control over rabid abuse of google getting literal TRILLIONS of your ignorance so they can sell it to ANYONE! Anyone means 90% of hackers, scammers and white collar criminals to rob and give YOU problems! If you want a TTS just use one locally, make one yourself and if your not a coder follow a tutorial! You only need a minimum laptop to have a local A.I do 100x more impressive things then this utter garbage!
- T Kajihara
- In general, it is a good plugin with subscription. However, after updating to 13.15.0., It does not work at all. (After reinstalling, it was resolved)
- Layla
- Amazing! I love how human-like they are and that there is a selection of celebrities to use.
- Louis Murphy
- It's very good. I like it a lot. It makes my writing that much easier and to actually hear what I write read back to me. It is a game changer.
- Jamyla Moore
- So helpful when you are a law student, theirs typically lots of reading in which takes longer when you're doing it by yourself. This is super recommended!!!
- Terry Freeman

- Nooji

- Al Capwell

- ED Jaén
- EXCELLENT!
- Joe Garcia
- Love it sounds real keep the good work
- Lauren Mleczko
- Super handy to use as a Chrome extension or when I upload the PDF. Useful everywhere, really! It makes studying so much more flexible. I can listen to my textbook chapters when I commute to and from work now - SUCH an efficient use of time. It is also great for keeping me focused when reading - super helpful for ADHD.
- David Ostenfeld
- Very clear, agreeable voice, consistent and accurate reading of text. Able to have a number of people hear the reading at one time, which led to immediate discussion, rather than multiple individuals reading the text on their own time and having to wait for a discussion time eliminating forgetting text after time has gone by as well as other issues associated with discussions after time has passed. The only misstep and this was user error - I had the speed set incorrectly so it was a little slower reading. Highly recommend
- customer service BO5 41O 5OO3 barg
- Converts text into natural-sounding speech, making content easier to consume anywhere.
- Angelina O.
- So far it's good. I have ADHD, learning disability, and an auditory processing disorder, so it's difficult to learn by only reading or only listening. Being able to read and listen keeps me engaged (ADHD) and process what I'm learning about. At school, I'd usually have my sped teacher read to me, but sometimes she's busy or when I'm at home, no one can read to me. I do hope they will have more options of free voices. The voices are a little slow. Thank you for this app though!
