What is Speechify?

Speechify is a text-to-speech reader for students, professionals, and anyone who prefers listening over reading. It reads web pages, documents, books, and PDFs aloud.

You import or scan text, pick a voice and speed, and listen on mobile or desktop while you do other things. It is popular as a reading companion for coursework and long articles.

Key Features

  • Reads web pages, PDFs, emails, and scanned documents
  • Large selection of AI voices in many languages
  • Adjustable playback speed up to several times normal
