== How Speechify works ==
• Speechify scans your active tab in your browser and, in real time, converts the content to a most human-sounding voice.
• Works beautifully with Gmail, Google docs, Word docs, PDFs, Twitter, Wikipedia entries, blogs, news publications, and every web page you visit. It’s perfect for school, work, e-learning, learning a second language, and casual reading.
• You can take a picture of any text and import it into the app to read aloud.
With over 130+ voices to choose from across various languages, you can find the perfect one you love. Some voices are very recognizable. Mr. President, for instance, or even the officially licensed Gwyneth Paltrow voice, is one of our users’ favorites.
== Use cases ==
Speechify was first built to serve a single purpose: to help with dyslexia. But the use case for our app with the best-sounding voices exploded. If you love to read, need to read, or struggle with reading, Speechify is for you.
➤ Students at any grade level
Read faster and retain much more. Listen to your notes or textbook and follow along while stimulating auditory and visual senses.
➤ People with disabilities
Speechify was created by Cliff Weitzman, who struggled with dyslexia. It helped him excel at his studies.
➤ People struggling with vision issues or injuries that prevent them from reading
Other disabilities such as dry eyes, migraines, TBIs, or any illness that's a barrier to reading. Our mission has been constant – remove barriers to reading.
➤ Professionals like lawyers & doctors
Professions that require extensive reading, such as lawyers, doctors, editors, and such, can read important case files quickly and become more familiar with their work in shorter amounts of time.
➤ Storytime
Parents can use text to speech to read their children’s favorite books at home or on those long car rides. You don’t have to turn on an iPad or a movie to entertain your kids. They can listen to their favorite stories over and over again. Reading has proven to have significant results in early childhood development. Let them read.

- (2025-09-09) Thanks, this application is great for my college experience.
- (2025-09-09) I recently was looking for text to speech applications because of an injury and having to wear an eye patch. Having difficulty reading, I thought a companion might help, so I downloaded the free trial. I was so impressed that I am willing to shell out the requisite yearly fee to continue with the app (and I am a cheapskate, so that speaks volumes. haha get it?)
- (2025-09-09) I use it for proofreading. Just write then listen to what you have written. You hear the mistakes you sometimes miss when reading. I enjoy using different "voices" helps develop the story.
- (2025-09-09) i have adhd and this actually allows me to get my work done efficiently
- (2025-09-08) Makes it so much easier to digest information.

- (2025-09-07) Having Gweneth Paltrow as the voice of Claude & Gemini is gold. It has quirks, but what doesn't. I have had Gweneth read off documentation to me while I am working on the whiteboard. Worth what I pay per year for sure!
- (2025-09-07) When you can't pay it sucks as you only get robotic voices so please fix that otherwise its fine.
- (2025-09-07) Going blind and cannot read much anymore. This is truly God's gift at a reasonable price.

- (2025-09-05) This app is a huge time saver for me. Love it!!
- (2025-09-05) iThis app is used by me more than any other. I have macular degeneration in both eyes, which makes it more than difficult to read, so I rely on this app. Thank you!
- (2025-09-05) Such a great product, worth the expense if you spend much time online with research/reading / the voices are very good and i'm excited to see the use of AI to make them even better in the future.
- (2025-09-05) Best app for converting text to speech even though it is expensive.
- (2025-09-05) I'd give this app 3 and a half or likely four. I wish the play head for the audio was specific to the sentence and not paragraph or whatever setting its setup to. Otherwise its a very solid tool with many engaging readers. I would probably give it a 4 of 5.
- (2025-09-05) Worth the investment. It may seem a little steep at first but when you use it as often as I do its a huge help. I love that I can customize te voices. The pace and so on. The AI feature is awesome! Its like having my own tutor helping me answer the questions with personalized and customizeable answers. Its definitely been a huge help for me
- (2025-09-05) It has helped me complete all my reading assignments. I can listen and learn while driving or performing other tasks. I can also note take while it reads to me. It is very helpful.
- (2025-09-04) Works like a champ! what did I ever do before using this, I just can't imagine.
- (2025-09-04) I’ve really enjoyed using Speechify. It makes reading so much easier and more enjoyable. I love being able to listen to articles, books, or documents while I’m busy with other tasks. The voices sound natural, and I can adjust the speed to match how I want to listen. It helps me stay productive, retain more information, and save time. I’d definitely recommend Speechify to anyone who wants a smarter way to keep up with reading.
- (2025-09-04) Waaay to glitchy for a paid service. Now the app is down and isn't working at all. also horrible at reading maths symbols, algorithms and equations. Even at a high-school level
- (2025-09-04) One of the most useful tools of all time for reviewing documents without needing to stare at a screen all day. Many thanks Speechify!
- (2025-09-04) I use this daily and it has made me more productive and helped me advance myself in my field.
- (2025-09-04) Using Speechify has completely changed the way I learn and manage my time. Since I’m more of an auditory learner than a visual one, Speechify has been a game-changer for me. I often use it alongside ChatGPT to listen to explanations of long and boring PDFs instead of reading them myself. The ability to play, pause, and multitask while listening makes studying so much easier and more efficient. It keeps me engaged, saves a lot of time, and makes the entire learning process far more enjoyable.
- (2025-09-04) Speechify automatically gives itself permission to view your Payment Handlers, Camera, Microphone, Location, Hand Tracking, etc etc. There are 2 Speechify slots in Permissions (the extension and the website), so you have to go to both and manually BLOCK all of these settings. To get there, you must right click the extension on the toolbar and select View Web Permissions: change all your permissions then click the Back arrow (scroll up and you will see it slightly left of the center), select Speechify.com and change all of your permissions again to block. This will BLOCK the Speechify extension and website from automatically setting permissions for itself to "Allow". Also, on the Speechify extension page (right click the toolbar and select manage extension), change it to "On click". Where it says: "Site access Allow this extension to read and change all your data on websites you visit:" Change it from "On all sites" to "On click". This way, all you do is click on the extension in the toolbar when you want to use it, instead of it always being on... You can also get to the Permissions page from the Manage Extension page. Just below where you select "On click", you can click on Site Settings and that will bring you to the permissions page. I recommend turning everything off, as it does not need permission for anything else other than the 3 that cannot be changed and 'Sound' (Sound is set to Automatic (default) )'. EVERYTHING ELSE SHOULD BE BLOCKED as it is SPYWARE... (this is why I gave it 1 star)
- (2025-09-04) Speechify is a life-saver. Having ADHD makes reading a little difficult and speechify is the perfect tool to help digest a lot of information in a short period. I used it extensively while working on my master's and I'm not sure how I got through any of my reading prior to using it. The interface and adaptability to different platforms is huge. I also love that I can use it for e-books and pdfs. That is, with speechify, I can essentially convert almost anything to audiobook format. This allows me to engage with more material more often.
