On a commute or while busy, reading on screen is not an option. Speechify does text to speech: paste an article, import a document or continue reading from the browser and mobile entries, with adjustable pace and voice, plus voice input that turns speech into text. An allowance follows signup; voices and length limits follow the current site page. Narration skips charts, footnotes and layout, and may mispronounce terms and names, so verify anything you will cite against the source.
What it does
- Articles and documents read aloud continuously with adjustable pace
- Multiple voices and languages for listening to the same text differently
- Browser and mobile forms with resumable progress
- Voice input turns dictation into text
- Save frequent material and pick up later
Who it is for
- Long articles and reports should fill fragmented time
- Screen time is high and listening is easier
- Foreign-language content needs listening to get familiar
- Writing by dictation when speech is faster than typing
How to get started
- Import a real long article and try two speeds to find one you can follow
- Add material you replay to a list and keep progress
- Check numbers, names and quotes against the source afterward
