- Cool tool
- Boma Oruwari
- Being dyslexic this chrome extension has proven invaluable to me
- Valerie Plair
- Sound and quality is really good and all but the only problem for me is that sometimes in the middle of reading something it would cut out.
- Nathan A-B
- Really useful software that makes reading and working so much easier. Occasional issues with helping it identify what to read and what to ignore, among other small bugs. However, on the whole I would confidently recommend it to anyone who enjoys audiobooks, or has a lot of reading to do in their day-to-day life. Absolute gamechanger!
- Kevin Champagne
- so much better to listen than to read, I love Speechify!

- Maddy Knapp
- Overall a great program. I use it for all my online textbooks, but I have to copy and paste most items into the program because it cannot read on the page itself.
- Daniel Di Marzo
- For the most part, great. I use it for academic articles, and sometimes there are issues with the AI following the document correctly.
- Alexander Martinez-Kocmann
- I didn't realize until I started using it, how very useful this tool is. It has increased my efficiency without a doubt.

- Connie Jacobs
- so far works better than any I have downloaded and tried to use if it still continues to work good for me i will purchase the pro
- William Bettridge-Radford
- Very annoying onboarding process that tries to upsell you to the annual version.
- Elissa Kerman
- I am much more productive as a student when I use speechify. I wish it was less expensive, however, because most of us who use it are students, and we are already swamped in costs of education.
- Jazmine Thomas
- I like the features and concept it crashes a lot I have had to sign out and sign in twice because my account was acting crazy. The help desk is somewhat fast, but for $100 i expect better reliability.
- Gregory Taylor
- PERFECT PAIR FOR CHAT GPT
- Jawanda Jackson
- Super helpful!
- saul lopez
- Great tool for being able to multitask.
- T.J. Bonnette

- Skips 95% of the necessary texts on most websites. poor text identification algo.

- Candace Jones
- Fantastic resource!
- Nate Walker

- Sarah Halvorsen
- As an online student, this is a freaking game changer!
- Track2
- I'm using a free version and very happy with it. Thank you Speechify!
- C1oul
- Used the free trial version so much that I didn't even second guess going into the yearly plan. The voices barely screw up and that's more because of what they are reading than the voices themselves. The only 'bad' part is if you lose your internet connection, then a really bad AI voice has to take over.
- xyzzy
- Problem fixed promptly and speechify is still the best, far out ahead of any other similar product!
- Yzu
- Jan 16 and 17, 2026, no longer worked on Chrome website (not functional for reading the website content any more, ANY website), I tried for different webpages, many of which were totally fine to listen a couple of days ago are now NOT compatible with this extension. Same with Edge. I use MAC laptop and updated it recently, Hi speechify team please check if this extension still works!
- Sheehan
- solid
- Hyuna Jung
- Chrome extension works well, however, the app doesn't read 'any books' as advertised. Only a very limited number of books are available, I believe, as the handful of books I tried to take a picture of were met with a pop up that said this book is not available yet on Speechify.
- Mike Krey
- This is an absolute game changer for schoolwork.
- pete duran
- Nice! I approve
- Guy Sagy
- Incredible cross-platform software. The new Voice-to-Text feature is a fantastic addition !!!!!!!!!!! Thank you Speechify!
- Michael N
- As a subscriber for over 3 years, I’ve noticed that the extension doesn’t work on Perplexity.com Comet browser. Additionally, as of today, January 16, 2026, with the recent update to the Google Chrome browser(Version 144.0.7559.60)mac, this extension no longer responds or functions.
- Mutiara Hobbs
- I love this app, the mobile version and the desktop (Chrome extension) version! Love that I got to listen instead of 'read'. This way I get to to do my other things while 'reading' at the same time :)
- Morgan Brison
- I struggle reading for long periods of time and focusing on text. As an online college student, I have A LOT of reading to do. I was desperate to find something that could help me, and along came an ad for speechify. It's already a game changer. It had trouble reading some text, but using the image capture helped in the weird online etextbook I was assigned. Love it!
- Daniel Rodriguez
- Too easy and thank you Speechify!
- Carthenox00
- Easily the best tool I use in college. Dyslexia is a real and difficult condition that prevents me from reading and understanding materials that I just read. This app helped tremendously!!! You can also adjust the reading speed.
- Elizabeth Meza Reyes
- This has been one of the best tools I have ever used, especially for individuals with learning disabilities. It has significantly improved my ability to understand reading material while greatly reducing the time required. I used to spend a considerable amount of time reading books and chapters, but now I am able to complete them in half the time with much better comprehension.
- Bruce Archer
- I really like it when it works. I was sad to see that Kindle was taken out of the options. I may not subscribe again because of this loss.
- Yogesh Katwal
- liking the first 5 mins. helpful
- Kam Gai
- It is great I like it, but it is a little bit fast that all I can say. I give it 4 stars
- Dave Gould
- It's good, but pricing structure doesn't provide enough value for the buck.. I have too many subscriptions already to add one that doesn't fully meet needs, if it were $5.99 I would fully adopt into my tech stack.
- Yahushua Messiah
- Best plugin there is, hands down! Love it!
- Eakasit Mitramon
- I really like it! I gave it 4 stars instead of 5 because the voice sounds a bit unnatural—very choppy when used with NotebookLM, which is my primary AI research tool. Aside from that, it's excellent.
- Jeremie Ogu
- Amazing extension it help me out a lot to read my test questions
- Mitchell N
- Premium user. I have to reinstall this once every few days because it starts to glitch. The UI is all greyed out and there is a red badge indicating some update or notification that doesn't exist. This does not correct itself after restarting the browser or system. Only a reinstall. Otherwise, it is a handy tool when it works. I would say a very thin net-positive. It is NOT more convenient if I have to install it every time I need to use it, but when it is working it's great.
- Mira VH
- This is very helpful for catching up on industry research while I work in the morning. I wish it were cheaper, but am otherwise very pleased.
- Chloe Veilleux
- So helpful working through all the reading of my Doctorate program!:)
