Overview

Speechify converts any text — articles, PDFs, emails, Google Docs, web pages — into natural-sounding audio you can listen to at up to 4.5x speed. It's the fastest way to consume written content without reading: paste a URL, import a document, or use the browser extension, and the AI reads it aloud with realistic voice synthesis while following along with the text. Used by professionals who want to consume more information in less time, people with dyslexia or reading difficulties, and commuters who turn their reading list into a podcast-like queue. Available on iOS, Android, Chrome, Mac, and as a desktop app with text sync across devices.
