(2025-07-17) I dont like the new update I can paulse it when its reading a page on PC. I want controls back.
(2025-07-17) Very helpful
(2025-07-16) I'm enjoying using Speechify, the concept is great and it has helped me with staying focused while reading. However, I've discovered some traits of the software that bother me. This is the reason for the 3 star instead of 4 or 5. I have noticed the software trying to read bullet points and each time it comes to a bullet point it messes up the first word that comes after it. Sometimes mashing whatever it decided to read aloud the bullet point with the start of that word. That's annoying. Also, I don't read fast, its hard for me to comprehend when I allow the software to speak normally or at a faster pace, therefore, I slow the software down to slightly slower than the 1.0 speed to .85 or .9 but when I do this, the voices have a bit of a reverberation to them, which makes them sound funny to me. That's annoying. Finally, the software doesn't read the punctuations very well. It doesn't pause at commas, or long pause at periods and in certain readings like Bible readings it changes the meaning of the scriptures. This is SUPER ANNOYING! So, its my hope the developers see this review and get to work on these annoying traits. Now in all fairness, I'll continue to use Speechify because it does serve a purpose for me, that is staying on task, getting through my assigned readings and doing so with a varity of voices to choose from, my trick is finding the voices that sound good slowed down and are less funky sounding when played slow, fortunate for me there are some, but Snoop Dogg isn't one of them...LOL!
(2025-07-16) It skips dashes and ellipsis, randomly believes the sentence is over when it reaches the end of a line when in fact the sentence continues, and cannot pronounce words that are cut off at the end of a line, but I like it.
(2025-07-16) Wonderful tool. It helps me focus and comprehend the materials I am reading. I can also multitask better as needed - such as writing a paper on an article while listening to the article. I really like that it highlights the text as it reads it aloud.
(2025-07-16) Highly appreciate this! Helps a lot and feels cared for; Sometimes bugs out, but mainly really nice, good and pleasant
(2025-07-16) i am liking how it speaks the words, but the voice keeps changing - otherwise a nice little addon
(2025-07-16) This app helps to improve my comprehension.
(2025-07-15) It helps my ADHD
(2025-07-15) I am a Portuguese speaker and I am back in college to get my college degree in US.I was struggling trying read books in English and do my assignments.With Speechify I am more confident and I am doing my home work more effectively.I even started reading Novels and other books not related with my college degree studies.I highly recommend this app.
(2025-07-15) im obsessed with this! i have adhd and I have such a hard time taking online classes because I hate reading off a computer screen. Speechify makes it easier for me to just listen to the text and try to pay better attention by following along.
(2025-07-15) Speechify is amazing. I work with books and it is awesome to be able to have speechify read it back to me. It's been a real game changer for me and I love the variety of voices you can choose from.
(2025-07-14) Super easy to use. Narrator voices sound great, very realistic sounding and does a good job at narration.
(2025-07-14) Speechify holds the torch for browser communication. If you want something to read your browser, this is the best app for it. It always has been. It may not work on every single website, but no other app even comes close to working on any website compared to Speechify. If you want something to read your web page, this is the one that you're going to want to keep, trust me.
(2025-07-14) peak
(2025-07-14) Amazing!
(2025-07-14) Blown away. I was recently diagnosed with PPPD, and my eyes get strained when reading online. This helped me still be able to read articles I wanted to read. This is absolutely worth it. Love it! Thank you!
(2025-07-14) literally so good, accidently bought a yearly subscription but I do not regret!!!
(2025-07-14) Absolutely amazing software, I have fibromyalgia and find this software incredibly useful, useful enough fit within our monthly budget whilst studying with the Open University, for the next 8 years. My constructive feedback would be to open your platform for free (without charges) to disabled people, and a generously reduced rate to students. This way, your platform will grow thorough organic reach, love will nurture, and your sales will still rise: as you only need to offer the reader app as a basic freebie to those who are eligible. Fantastic app, wouldn't be without it when studying or working at home, it's a lifeline for me. Thank you to all the staff that work hard on Speechify, you're sincerely appreciated. Wishing you good health, good luck and a fantastic career. Matt
(2025-07-14) Very hard use with certain websites
(2025-07-13) Speecify is amazing!
(2025-07-13) smooth reading
(2025-07-13) Yup
(2025-07-13) It works well so far.
(2025-07-13) As a ADHD'er and Dyslexic Startup Founder Speechify if a God sent! I crush work when using it.
(2025-07-13) seems better then the other tts in the market, also good for free account.
(2025-07-13) Much need to save 2hrs/week.
(2025-07-13) It is changing my life, I have ADHD and I am on the spectrum - I am 64 and I can now write the book I have always wanted to write.
(2025-07-13) Really robust compared to my previous text to speech extension. Wide selection of voices with very good sound quality.
(2025-07-12) So clutch! Don't know how I'd do my homework without it!
(2025-07-12) This is a great start app for anyone trying to read large amounts of books. I'm currently reading heavy pdf books (8000+ pages and more)
(2025-07-12) Great for busy professionals. It can be improved, but it is a great start.
(2025-07-12) Outstanding.
(2025-07-12) nice extention
(2025-07-12) There are a lot of voices to choose from and all the voices sound very natural. It is well integrated with web ChatGPT. The only issue is the price is kind of on the high side, but the free version is good enough for many use cases edit: cannot subscribe. please fix. ("Error occurred : Could not create customer in Stripe: Your card was declined.")
(2025-07-12) This extension is vile in how it grinds Chrome to a halt. This has been going on for several months and developer shows no intention of fixing the issue. Worse than useless, it is positively time wasting.
(2025-07-12) The custom voice makes allows me to have text read back in my own voice. This is great. It engages me and my students.
(2025-07-12) It was great until I lost access because it wants me to pay over $100 a year for it. I didn't even pay that much for my old website plan. Wish I'd been warned I couldn't even use just one of their HD voices after a while. Unless you've got money, this is a no-go.
(2025-07-11) Saving my BACON in my masters degree program. Don't want to imagine a world without this tool!
(2025-07-10) My eyesight is decreasing rapidly and this app is very helpful in allowing me to continue my interest in social media and news items from around the world. Many many thanks to those who created it.
(2025-07-10) "My go-to audio tool! Speechify is a lifesaver for studying, quick data retrieval, and preparing for exams by testing myself with the generated quizzes inside the speechify app."
(2025-07-10) Got the paid version it's great. No complaints. Even reads text off of images.
(2025-07-10) Nah. It's a paid app, unless you like listening to the most abrasive AI voice in the world. I can make my own extension with a nice voice for free.
(2025-07-10) Its very helpful
(2025-07-10) its so much helpful
(2025-07-10) Very Intuitive to use.
