Latest reviews
- Samuel Hernandez
- I liked this extension more than I wanted to. I have trouble reading articles, and some sites don't include a speech tool. I tried it, and so far it has been handy and very accurate. If you are looking for a speech tool, look no further!
- Corey Smith
- I enjoy the app for study!
- Tannaz Razpoush
- I am using this app to prepare for my DPSI Law exam. Before discovering Speechify, I used to ask people to send me recordings so I could practice my simultaneous interpreting. However, no matter how hard we tried, those recordings never quite hit the mark in terms of varied accents and clear pronunciation. I love that I can choose between different voices; it familiarises me with real-world scenarios and prevents me from getting used to just one tone or accent. I can also adjust the speed as I progress, making it faster to challenge myself. After months of long study sessions, it can be hard to maintain focus, but Speechify makes me feel like I have someone keeping me on track. I use it to listen to online written sources while doing chores or before bed—it is like having my own personalised podcast. It has significantly boosted my focus, and I am incredibly happy with it. The only downside is the subscription fee, which is a bit high for students, but it is truly a great app.
- Raheel Essa
- Thinks its not logged in and JS is not enabled. Terrible voice playing as well.
- rdr strength & conditioning
- I use this for work and home reading. I love the fact I can change the voices, speed depending on how I am feeling that day. Speechify has allowed me to read at least 3-4 time more material. It also helps me with retaining more information. This is a great benefit for my dyslexia and ADHD. I could say a lot more benefits.
- Andrea E. Bacchi
- I truly appreciate Speechify to help me digest information easily and efficiently. It's an excellent tool and I'll be recommending it to my network.
- Jeff Stapleton
- Does a million things but none of them useful
- Marvin Beachy

- Matt S
- Love this feature. It really helps me ingest content while I am multi tasking. Basically I can now do continued education in my field in the same way I would listen to a podcast which maximize my productivity.
- Sergiy Druganov
- A must-have for long-form reading. I love using it for PDFs and books during my daily walks. The voices sound natural and human-like, which is a massive upgrade over the usual robotic-sounding alternatives.
- Leela Kondath
- My students use it to keep pace with their academic reading. This tool has had an impact on comprehension and therefore written output.
- Raina Kenny
- This app has been a game changer for me in my education helped me so much. However, the extension on Chrome frequently stops working, as if I have been logged out of the app, and even when I log back into the website, the extension does not work. The only thing that seems to make it work consistently is by uninstalling the extension and then reinstalling it. Which is inconvenient and time consuming.
- Tracey Gresham
- dope, this app is vital for me, i'm realizing.
- John Patrick Rakoto
- AWESOME
- Zackery Fleming
- I work all day, spend an hour or so with my kids, then start on my online schooling. Reading 200 pages between two classes was taking so much time away from time with my family! But with Speechify, I can crank the speed to 1.35% and get through the reading much faster than if I were to read it on my own (I read slowly)... This is a great app, and is REALLY helping me balance everything. Thanks to Speechify!

- Michael Thornhill
- Very helpful!
- Charles Malo
- Note : After the latest update, for some reason the "read aloud" and "side panels" of this extension aren't working on existing pages that used to work fine on before (like ChatGPT). Unsure if it's a bug or something wrong on my end, but I'll leave it at 5 stars and let the others vote it.

- 5 out of 5 — this tool really boosts my productivity and helps me understand things faster. Speechify delivers crisp, natural audio and never glitches. The interface just makes sense — no learning curve. Honestly, it saves me time, keeps me on track, and makes reading way easier and faster. I'd recommend it to students, professionals, or pretty much anyone looking to get more out of their learning.

- I have dyslexia and brain fog and have tried numerous apps over the years. Speechify helps me reach those regions of the brain where I can RETAIN information. lol Smooth voices. They don't sound too robotic or annoying. Well done, Speechify.
- 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

- Joseph Loverde
- Speechify works well.
- silas joshua david
- thank you this innovation...
- FPT
- This has been a gamechanger in consuming academic dense text. I've discovered that my ability to absorb and retain spoken word rather than "reading" is so different, and this has enabled me to study differently, more efficiently and gain better results. I have only had this a few weeks, I tried all the free solutions which are also great, but for the quality of voice and intonation, I haven't found one that is better. I LOVE THIS APP.
- oksana wood
- Great app! It’s extremely helpful during periods of academic overload and makes it much easier to keep up with reading and assignments.
- Timothy Robinson
- Since it is virtuely the only one, it is very good. I used Gwyneth voice, it was okay, but I either had to listen at regular speed, which is fast, or turn it down to a slow crawl. I preferred the fast. I gave it a 5 because it worked and I had her reading ancient Cornish words which impressed me she could read correctly. Happy with it.
