- I have been using it for a year now sometimes its slow, but I got to say there is no other app or service that can rival it right now. The dictation feature needs work though.
- Gideon Mensah-Whyte

- Ellie Voss
- I was uncertain at first to try something I hadn't heard of before, but I am SO glad I did! The voice is very natural sounded, and has wonderful inflections. It has been a great help so far while I am editing my writing!
- Amy Sik
- As a busy, neurodivergent mom, thank you for this app. It allows me to read books I already own while I do other things, like laundry and cooking. I am also learning how to listen better with this app, as well as listen to books faster. The other day, I was listening to the 12 steps of Alcoholics Anonymous as read by Paris Hilton, and it made my day. No, it made my entire month. It's so hilariously relatable and funny, which makes listening enjoyable and helps me feel connected. I couldn't have had that experience without Speechify. Thank you, developers. You've helped give this mom another space to learn and grow from and in.
- Ron Hyde
- Works great, just wish it had some features that were free other than the computer voice. Still, it's better than many of the options out there.
- D S-R
- This product is ABSOLUTELY fantastic. I cannot express how much I truly love it!
- Luca Notaro

- Sonya Mcpherson
- Really like it but the constant prompts while I am trying to study across platforms to come here and rate you when I pay for this subscription is a hard NO. It is also buffering constantly on the PDF podcast function. I wouldn't stop using it but if the pop up keep happening on the chrome extent ion I will expecting a discount on the subscription. I pay I don't want ad like features that interrupt me, this is a tool to help learning not distracts from it.

- Speechify got this 50 year old mother of 4, probably ADHD woman, through graduate school, and continues to serve me as I hone my therapist skills, and learn more every day. I couldn't have gotten to where I am today without Speechify.
- Cesar Brito Ramirez
- The chrome extension works great. You can easily and quickly read from almost any website. I would recommend going premium. Using the web version to read books /PDF etc. The Mac app is not great. But the mobile version is very good.
- Icedragon89
- Easy to use
- Michael Fenton
- I was using claro read and its functionality was limited couldn't use it on tablet and it was struggling with open uni website so tried Speechify and its safe to say so much better cross compatible and much better on all sites
- G. H. Masters
- The free trial was less than one full page of reading before it asked me to subscribe. This is why it rates only 2 stars; it was far too short to truly evaluate. Same thing in naturalreaders.com, less than 60 seconds, otherwise I would have used naturalreaders. I don't trust a trial that does not provide a true trial before asking for money or a card number. Grammarly, GPT, CLAUDE, and NotebookLM all allowed for a legitimate trial. I've subscribed to them all. I will not subscribe to Natural Readers because, like Speechify, the trial was worthless. We'll see how much I use the generic Speechify, and how much it aggravates me. I'm 72, blind in one eye, and one-handed. Text-to-speech is important to me. I will find something I trust.
- Alan Beard
- Really transformative for a 73 yo. person who struggles to read lengthy documents/text etc, both from the point of view of eyesight and concentration levels.
- Mark Andrews
- Love it use it for reading websites and going through courses
- T'Chani Hill
- They have a great selection of voice styles to choose from. Easy to use! I prefer a more human conversational voice than a robotic one, so it makes listening to books online more relaxing for me.
- Lisa Gill
- Was using Mac book speech for readings but was so boring and I was distracted so easily. I find speechify much easier to listen to! Changes tones as needed for most parts which is so helpful (rather than the Charlie brown teacher tone lol) Very useful!! Should give students a discount and promote this to schools :) Much easier to do readings and follow along highlighting the learning objectives in text books!!
- Science, politically
- The free version works well if you don’t want to spend money. I use the paid version because of my dyslexia, though it isn’t necessary. I mainly like the additional voices.
- K S
- Really helps with long readings. Works effortlessly. I love it.
- Pravalika Sorda
- Really helps in improving focus while reading for longer periods.
- Carolina Pena
- great but its expensve and they dont offer student discount
- Leonardo Godleski
- Nice Brother
- Vladislav
- Great extension! I wish there was a lifetime premium option available. It's also a bit pricey. Quality human-like voices though. I recommend it for college students or if you're tired of robotic voices already. If anyone interested, get $60 off and 1 month free when you sign up with this link: https://share.speechify.com/mzAcdfi
