Description

Speechify uses cutting edge Artificial Intelligence and Deep Learning to synthesize the highest quality and most natural sounding voices in history. Designed to help people with Dyslexia, ADD, Concussions, Second Language Learners, Auditory Learners, Super Learners and Productivity Fanatics. Upload a PDF, import a website link, copy text into the app, share from Google Drive, Dropbox, or iCloud, and Speechify will speak the document to you - turn your work/homework into a podcast. Take a picture of any physical text or book and Speechify will read it to you like an audiobook using OCR and Text To Speech. Listen at up to 900 words per minute (2.5 pages per minute). Translate text with 98% accuracy into any of 50+ languages and have it spoken in your native language. RETAIN MORE: Academic research shows that listening and reading at the same time results in significantly higher levels of comprehension AND an improvement in the listener’s reading speed even when not listening. Sync books across your iPhone, Mac and iPad. Listen while driving, walking, cooking, eating, working out, etc. Story: I’ve been dyslexic my whole life. Reading that sentence takes me the same amount of time and brain energy as most people take when solving a 4 digit long division math equation in their head. I would pretend to read in elementary school. Through hard work (and convincing a lot teachers to give me exceptions) I got accepted to Brown University. One problem....I couldn’t read my summer reading book - there was no audiobook for this book. I had no other choice, I hacked an old text to speech computer system to read the remaining portion of the book over night into my iPhone and then listen to it on the plane. Today, hundreds of thousands of people have been able to function in school and society because of Speechify. Remember, that above all else, your mission is to be who you needed most when you were growing up. Much love <3, Cliff Weitzman, Simeon Kostadinov and the rest of the Speechify Team.

My issue with reading normally is that I get distracted mid sentence… Speechify is a voice that never loses focus like my mind's voice does." - Sam “I suffer from A.D.D. and between this app and Audiobooks I have never felt more empowered... please know you made a real difference in my life" - Bill "Thank you, thank you, THANK YOU!!! My 8 year old is in the process of being officially diagnosed with dyslexia. We have struggled with reading and homework since kindergarten. This is a life changing resource for us!!! I'm hoping to have it worked into his IEP..." - Crissy "Thank you, thank you, thank you. I am literally crying. My nine year old daughter has Dyslexia and it has been very frustrating to find things that will help her. This was transformative for her. - Sara Go get the full Mac app here: https://getspeechify.com/ Subscription Pricing and Terms We don’t allow new people to pay us right now. Want to pay us?

    I could not use the app at all because the there is no way to use it unless you agree with a $ 79 charge for the premium version. There is only the PREMIUM version, nothing else.

    I hope this message finds you safe and healthy. I seem to be encountering certain conflicts with the different app services that have brought me a good deal of stress and unnecessary anxiety. Specially, considering how much I pay for Speechify and I must admit that the answers I get from the app support normally come back late and are scarce, as if the support technicians didn’t have all the information or tools they need to really be helpful. Or, how I actually feel, as if Speechify was trying to sell something that is not fully formed and the subscription is way overpriced for what it really offers. In other words, I sense a lack of transparency and internal communication that makes me distrustful of the company and the service itself. Why? You may ask. First, after my last interaction with one of your technicians, I have literally been unable to restore my purchase with a different account so that I can use my premium subscription with the Chrome extension. As I was promised I would be able to do. The window just loads forever. Second, I really think that charging so much for the app subscription with a limited number HD words and then give the Chrome extension subscribers a cheaper price with unlimited HD words is not showing respect for your customers and creates a lot of confusion and unfairness. I know that Apple and Google have their rivalry, but your clients should not be paying the consequences for this and you must be responsible for solving these technical nonsense for them—considering how much we pay. Speechify was supposed to bring me peace of mind and I have only encountered obstacles to be able to listen to my books as I read them. Sincerely. PS. I give it 2 stars because the concept is brilliant. The software, the respect for your customers, and the follow-up, not so much.

    ...then this would be the highest rated app in the entire app store.
  • Mac app won't show reading from iOS

    I can click "library" but none of my readings on my iPad are shown here. Also, I have had a lot of issues in my reading where it will stall/end at a word, but when I click/unclick the play button, it restarts the reading from the top. My work around has been to read ahead on my own, and then have the Mac app skip 15 seconds forward. But I have to do this almost every minute.
  • Pretty Good but freezes

    After I did the IOS Big Sur update the natvie text to speech was horrible. It would break words apart ike, "the" and say, "T" "he." so annoying! This app is great for free. It is accurate enough for what I need.
  • its okay
