- Having Snoop Dogg read about World War I to me is well worth getting the app.
- 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

- 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!

- Shawn Puckett
- Review of Premium (Yearly) subscription. I use Speechify for all kinds of things but find it amazing for reading technical books/docs. Sure there are some oddly pronounced words or some odd pauses at times, but overall it is amazing and can't image going without it at this point!
- Barry Kade
- I just listened to a Newsweek article. I could clearly understand what was said. However, the voice sounded like 10 year old technology. Not at all fluid. Obviously a computer voice. Very obviously.
- Gabriel Brum de souza
- Very nice job in this AI.
- Jim Doe
- Cool voice that I like to use. It is helpful every time.
- Atharsh
- Amazing
- Daniel Bowler
- No option to change ball speed
- CD MC
- Help a lot when on the go and I need a quick listen. However, for scanned pages, it's still flawed in that it sometimes scrambles the words and the output reading is wonky. Overall, I enjoy the app.
- Jose Juárez
- the highlight text helps me focus better to follow the reading while listening.
- Juan David Velasco Chaparro
- Thank you
- Chase Mullen
- So far, it's the only reader I've found that works with BibliU.

- Very Helpful, since I cannot read for more than 5 minute. It helps me work on scree for longer durations. Gets my work done faster than ever before. Thankyou Cliff Weitzman and Speechify Team.
- Intiser Iqbal
- I have been using speechify for about a year now and I genuinely love how easy it is to setup and get running, I love the option to change pace to read web contents(English Language) as a freemium user as of now. Thank you for this amazing service it provides in the free tier. One day hope to upgrade to a more premium feature soon since I love this extension via MS Edge.
- Sola One
- amazing and very helpful. love it
- Jamie Wilson
- Life saver. love love love
- Jonathan Nelson
- This thing is a literal game changer. Unreal how fast I can get through my schoolwork. Gives more time to study the material rather than just reading it. in the time it would take me to read a chapter once, I can read it NO JOKE, maybe 5-6 times over lol. With the business of life, sitting down to read material is way to time consuming. This allows that sit down time to be a fraction of the time and gives you the option of reading during the busy day. Thank God I started using this.
- David Robbins
- perfect for what i need!
- Jermaine.j Humes
- Very convenient
