Speechify

Speechify is an AI-powered text-to-speech and voice AI platform that turns books, PDFs, documents, webpages, and other written content into natural-sounding speech. It has expanded beyond reading into voice typing, AI podcasts, summaries, voice conversations, and productivity tools. Speechify is available across web, Chrome, iOS, Android, Windows, Mac, and Edge.

Uses of Speechify

Speechify can read digital content aloud using a large collection of natural AI voices. Users can upload PDFs and documents, scan printed text, listen to webpages, adjust reading speed, and follow highlighted text while listening. Its Voice AI Assistant can also answer questions about content and provide summaries, making it useful for learning, research, and everyday reading.

Speechify also includes tools for creating and working with audio. Users can create AI podcasts, dictate text using voice typing, create professional voiceovers, dub videos into other languages, clone voices, and produce AI-avatar content through Speechify Studio. These features make it useful for education, content creation, marketing, accessibility, presentations, podcasts, audiobooks, and video production.
