What Speechify does
Speechify turns written content into spoken audio using natural-sounding AI voices. Click its toolbar icon on an article, PDF, or other supported document and it starts reading aloud, highlighting text as it goes. It's built for people who want to consume long reading material by listening instead, whether that's for convenience, multitasking, or reading difficulty.
Speechify free vs paid
Speechify offers a free plan covering basic text-to-speech reading. Paid plans unlock more natural premium voices, faster playback speeds, and additional features. If you only need occasional reading support, the free tier may be enough; frequent users who want the most natural voice quality typically move to a paid plan.
Is Speechify safe?
Since Speechify reads the content of pages you visit, it requires access to page text to function. As with any reading tool that processes page content, avoid using it on pages with highly sensitive personal information unless you trust how that content is handled. It requires an account to sign in and sync settings.
