- Great extension !
- Leonardo Dantas
- this app is awesome
- Frances Dowle
- The quality / naturalness of the speech is exceptional, and there's a wide choice of voices. It's easy to adjust the speed. The download feature, which is quite new, is very welcome, though currently takes far too long (but you can listen offline or with data - if signal is good enough for a phonecall, it's generally good enough for the premium voices). Perhaps downloading could be optimized for a few voices. In my experience, the 'time lapsed/time remaining' bar at the bottom is not accurate. Perhaps it will be more so with the download feature, though I've yet to wait long enough for a document to download. Improving this would help with time management. Synching across devices is very smooth. Overall, a very good app, with a just a few things that could be improved to make it even better.

- I downloaded the Speechify app and subscribed thinking I would use it primarily to listen to documents on my commute (which I do). However, the Chrome app has proven itself to be equally, if not more, valuable in my workflow. As I'm reading content on the screen, I'll often engage Speechify to read it for my ears while I read it with my eyes. The ability to choose the perfect voice and speaking rate is especially nice. That's where it exceeds other text-to-speech tools. Looks like my one-year subscription will be a multi-year commitment.

- 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.

- I have dyslexia and attention deficit disorder and dealt with it my entire life now 53. One of the most annoying part is going to a website Wanted to read a whole bunch of texts It's around 10 minutes I'm done I get mental fatigue. The problem I had with windows narrations or any other screen reader was mechanics and the voice It didn't flow like human voice. This app flows nice You can speed it up, keep your attention. Its great!
- Maksymilian Majer
- I always put off articles to read later, add them to the reading list in Chrome, or store them in my Obsidian Vault. But now with Speechify, I literally have no excuse not to just read or listen to a few of articles that I have in my list every day. The word highlight feature is actually perfect for my ADHD to keep me focused on what I am listening to and what I am seeing on my screen which increases my knowledge intake.
- Jaclyn Joy
- This app is superb. I rate 5 because I believe they can figure it out the negatives attributes themselves. I've experienced this situation with them and all reading apps underperforming transitions in language. So far my biggest complaint centers around reading bullet points or other things we understand are structural and unrelated to content. It becomes repetitive and chunky.
- Rajkumar B
- Simple and Superb Speecify! During busy hours it helps me to read aloud my mails & making it easy.
- wayne ramfan smith
- it works well so far
- Mike Liese
- Speechify is a great tool when it actually works, but unfortunately, that's becoming rarer for me. I use it on my phone and two PCs. The mobile app performs reliably without issues, but the PC version for chrome is consistently problematic: Logging in is extremely unreliable. It often fails repeatedly or takes forever. Even when login succeeds, the app frequently reports that it "can't see text on screen," preventing any text-to-speech functionality. I've spent significant time troubleshooting with Speechify support, following their suggestions, but nothing has resolved these problems. Most critically, I currently can't even access my account to manage or cancel my subscription. As of this writing (December 30, 2025), the login has been stuck "trying to log in" for over two hours. This level of instability on desktop, combined with unresponsive account access, makes the service unusable for me despite paying for premium. I'd appreciate a real fix or assistance but support wasn't helpful at all last i tried.
