Speechify

Speechify is a Voice AI Productivity Assistant that turns any written content, PDFs, articles, emails, ebooks, and even physical pages scanned with a camera, into natural-sounding speech. Built by founder Cliff Weitzman out of his own experience with dyslexia, the platform has grown into the most widely used text-to-speech app in the world, serving more than 60 million people across iOS, Android, Chrome, Edge, Mac, Windows, and the web. Its core engine offers over 1,000 lifelike AI voices in 60-plus languages and accents, adjustable playback speeds up to 4.5x, and synchronized text highlighting so users can follow along while listening. Beyond reading content aloud, Speechify has expanded into a full voice-first productivity suite. Voice Typing lets people dictate in any app up to five times faster than typing, with automatic grammar cleanup and filler-word removal. The built-in Voice AI Assistant answers questions about whatever a user is reading, generates summaries, creates quizzes from study material, and can turn any document or short description into a one-click AI podcast. An AI meeting note taker captures calls and conversations, produces key-point summaries, and lets users ask follow-up questions about what was discussed. Optical character recognition allows users to snap a photo of a printed page and have it read back instantly. Speechify also offers a separate Studio product for creators and enterprises, providing AI voice generation, voice cloning from a short recording, dubbing into 60-plus languages, and AI avatars for video content, along with a developer-facing Text to Speech API that powers the same voices used across its consumer apps. Fortune 500 companies, schools, and government programs use Speechify at scale alongside individual users. Speechify is built for a wide range of people: students who need to get through heavy reading loads faster, professionals who want to process documents and emails hands-free, content creators producing podcasts and voiceovers, and especially people with dyslexia, ADHD, low vision, or other reading differences who benefit from an accessible, listening-first way to consume information.
