• Chrome extension, iOS and Android apps with synced listening position.
• Scan printed pages with your camera and have them read back.

Pricing

Speechify is freemium. The free tier provides standard voices and basic speed control, while Premium unlocks high-definition voices, faster playback, offline listening and advanced controls. Speechify Studio is billed separately for voice-over and dubbing work.

Why people choose it

Speechify removes the friction that stops people using text-to-speech: it works where the reading already happens. A browser extension reads the article in front of you, the mobile app picks up where you left off, and the camera scan handles paper that has no digital version at all. The voices are good enough to listen to for an hour without strain, and high playback speeds let heavy readers cover far more material than they could visually. For accessibility use in particular, having one library that handles PDFs, ebooks and web pages avoids juggling separate assistive tools.
