What Speechify is
What sets it apart Built-in optical character recognition that converts printed pages and photographed text into spoken audio, extending its reader beyond on-screen web and document text.
Speechify is a text-to-speech reader that turns articles, PDFs, and documents into spoken audio, running as a Chrome extension and as mobile and desktop apps. Alongside on-screen reading, it uses optical character recognition to convert printed pages and photographed text into audio. The product dates to 2016, built by a dyslexic Brown University student, and it targets people with reading difficulties as well as readers who would rather listen than read. A free tier provides a limited set of voices and slower playback, while a premium plan advertised from about $29 per month adds faster speeds and additional AI voices.
