About Speechify
Speechify reads text out loud. You open a PDF, a web page, an email or a photo of a book page, and it reads it to you in a natural AI voice while it highlights the words. You can speed it up to 5x, so many people use it to get through reading faster or to listen while walking or driving.
It started as a tool for people with dyslexia and it is still great for that, but students and busy professionals use it too. It works in the browser, on iPhone, Android and Mac, and it syncs your library between them.
The free plan has basic voices and normal speeds. Premium adds more than 1,000 natural voices in 60+ languages, speeds up to 5x, scanning of printed pages, AI summaries and chat, voice typing and AI podcasts.
