AI reading app that turns articles, PDFs, and books into natural audio.
Speechify is a text-to-speech app that reads web pages, PDFs, documents, and books aloud in natural voices. It is popular with students, professionals, and people with dyslexia or ADHD, because listening at up to 5x speed can be faster than reading. It works as a browser extension, mobile app, and web reader, and syncs across devices.
The free plan covers basic voices and 10 minutes of AI voice listening a month. Premium at $29 a month, or $139 a year, unlocks 200+ voices, up to 4.5x speed, and AI summaries. Note that Premium voices are for personal listening only; using a Speechify voice in a published video or audiobook needs Studio, the separate product starting at $19 a month, which carries commercial rights.
Speechify is one of the best-sounding reading apps available, but the price is high for casual use, and the two-product split confuses buyers. Read it as a productivity reader first, and a voiceover tool second.
