Speechify

Speechify is an AI-powered text-to-speech application designed to transform written text into spoken words. It enables users to “listen” to documents, articles, PDFs, emails, and any other text they would usually read. This technology is particularly handy for people who want to consume text-based content while on the go or while multitasking. It is also highly beneficial for individuals with reading difficulties or visual impairments.

Speechify offers different features depending on the platform. For instance, there is a Google Chrome extension you can use to turn any text viewed in the browser into a natural-sounding voice. This is very cool when you want to listen to articles or documents online.

Then there’s the Speechify app for iOS that allows users to listen to any text on their iPhone, iPad, or through Safari. This can come in particularly useful while commuting, working out, or doing chores around the house​. Needless to say, the Android app works in a similar fashion.

It is worth adding that the benefits of using Speechify go beyond mere convenience. By converting text to speech, users can boost their understanding and focus, as well as retain more information from the content they consume. This makes it a valuable tool for learners. Plus, you get to use it in the gym, while strolling in the park, or while relaxing on the couch​.

Also, Speechify makes the editing process faster for writers, letting them hear errors and fix them immediately. And unsurprisingly, Speechify has over 20 million downloads.
