What is Speechify?

Speechify is a voice-based AI assistant for listening to written content, dictating text, and working with documents. It reads PDFs, books, web pages, and other files aloud, with text highlighting and adjustable playback speed. Users can import documents, paste text, add web links, or scan printed pages to turn them into audio.

Beyond reading aloud, Speechify can summarize material, answer questions about what you are reading, and turn documents or short descriptions into AI podcasts. Its voice typing converts speech into text while correcting grammar, punctuation, and filler words. Meeting tools generate summaries and let users ask questions about calls, while its document workspace supports voice-created notes and questions across files.

Speechify runs on the web, mobile devices, desktop apps, and a Chrome extension. The free plan provides basic text-to-speech with 10 voices and playback up to 1.5× speed. Premium adds more than 1,000 voices across over 60 languages, faster playback, scanning, AI summaries, and cloud-storage integrations. Developers can also access a separate text-to-speech API.
