With over 6.5 billion words read through the platform, it’s clear that Speechify is more than just a reading tool — it’s a daily companion for lifelong learners and readers of all kinds.

Speechify offers an intuitive experience that blends intelligent scanning, cross-device syncing, and human-like voices to help users save time, enhance comprehension, and turn any moment into a chance to listen and learn.

Natural and Human-Like Voices

Choose from over 130 voices, including globally recognized accents and even celebrity voices like Gwyneth Paltrow. Voices are fluid, realistic, and easy to understand — perfect for long reading sessions without fatigue.

Read at Your Own Pace

Speechify lets you listen at speeds up to 4.5x the normal rate — translating into 900 words per minute. Whether you’re cramming for exams or reviewing detailed reports, you can customize the pace to fit your needs.

Multi-Platform Sync

Speechify works on desktop and mobile devices. Anything you save to your Speechify library is instantly available on all your devices via cloud sync. Start listening on your laptop and finish on your phone — seamlessly.

Read from Anywhere

Listen to emails, Google Docs, Word files, PDFs, blog posts, Wikipedia entries, Twitter threads, and almost every web page. You can even take a photo of text using your mobile device and have Speechify read it aloud.

Screenshot to Audio

If you come across text in an image — like a page from a printed book or a textbook screenshot — Speechify can extract and vocalize it with a single tap. This is especially useful for students and professionals working with scanned documents.

Floating Widget for Accessibility

Speechify features a floating widget that allows users to access the reader at any time. Dock it, move it, or minimize it as needed. It’s always just a click away.

Inline Web Integration

An inline player appears directly on websites, enabling users to start listening without leaving the page or opening a separate app. This ensures faster access and improved usability.

Active Highlighting

Speechify highlights the text as it reads, helping users follow along visually and better retain information. This dual-mode input — visual and auditory — significantly boosts comprehension and memory retention.

How It Works

Speechify operates by scanning the active tab in your browser or app, converting the visible content into audio using advanced speech synthesis technology. Whether you’re reading news articles, academic papers, or just catching up on emails, Speechify instantly reads them aloud with smooth, human-like speech.

The tool is especially effective for:

• Gmail and Outlook emails

• Google Docs and Microsoft Word

• PDF documents

• Web-based platforms like Notion, Twitter, Wikipedia, Medium, and more

Simply highlight the text or click play, and Speechify takes care of the rest.
