Speechify Text to Speech Audio App Reviews

I was using it to study my lecture notes and I loved the voice selection but when it came to reading the app kept skipping things that where in parentheses and in tables so most of the information was left unread. I would not recommend until this is fixe.

I wish there was a month to month subscription for the ones we can’t afford to pay a year just like that.

I've used Speechify since the early days, when it didn't really work at all, but now it works really freaking well. I love audiobooks, so I scan all the books that aren't on audio versions and take them on my runs. I scan articles of all kinds. I copy long emails and have it speak if I read them to me on my drive, etc. Invaluable.

I’ve been using Speechify to get through mountains of readings for grad school, and loved it! I start at 1.2 time and set it to automatically speed up. I can get through my readings so much faster now and I’m remembering more. But summer is over, and I’m back to my readings - only to find the crop feature is gone! 😤 Don’t get me wrong, the auto-skip feature is okay, but that’s it…okay. I still get page numbers and titles read to me and it messes up my flow. Please, please, PLEASE bring back crop

The quality of the voices is pretty good, but I keep having issues where they skip sentences, mix up lists, paragraphs, etc.

I’m in grad school for psychology so there is a great deal of reading. This app seriously helps me fill the gaps while I’m driving or otherwise. I can just listen to my lengthy textbooks. However, I have several times now lost my files entirely while scanning multiple pages. It is extremely frustrating especially for the cost of the app.

To is a good app it reads everything for me and I don’t need a subscription

Reading activities

it’s a good way to learn! 😊 🙏

The app is great until it starts to read too much. I have two columns on the page and it was doing well until 20 minutes later and it started reading straight across the columns which mixed up the text. Please fix this issue if you can. Other than that, the app is flawless and should receive 5 stars!

What a pleasure to share my god how much I love you how hard they try I don’t care what anyone things because God knows my heart. I know he’s real and if you stand up a little bit deeper you to understand why we act the way we do. Bless your souls protect yourself

Great features, but only three days for free? This should be free for students.

i use the free plan because i'm a broke high school student but even with the free plan this is helping me so much, i don't like to self diagnose but i cannot pay attention to anything and i probably have adhd but this helps me so much with paying attention and taking notes

Wish when I bought the free trial it kept the voices that came with me buying the trial but love it

My therapist offered me this app for my college classes and it’s so cool! It’s like my own pdf version that I can scan for work on my essay’s or something to listen to lull me to sleep at night so I don’t have nightmare’s. It’s amazing but one problem, the voice I have selected is “John US” but lately I have been getting a robot voice so when studying, I don’t have the book read aloud. I do not like the robot voice and for some reason, I can’t change it back to “John’s” voice.

Best text to speech app and even better with audio books bundled in :D

Easy to use, you can enjoy it right away!

I have adhd and find it hard sometimes to read articles for school or hobbies

I was able to get through difficult study material by using the app, thank you

Had little picturing of it, but everything else was good, but the narrator’s were a little bad as well

10/10 must recommend

Really fabulous reader! You will be thrilled with the ease of use and excellent quality voices.

Seems to be great so far can’t complain

I waited way too long to get speechify.

Thank you so much for accepting me into Speechify show me the options I am happy that I can learn thank you for your support.☮️

At first it was rough to use and I have to text communication to get help. It wasn’t perfect but it’s perfect at screening and reading, now I’m hooked. As a single mom, a teacher and still going to school. I have Speechify read my text books for classes and my professional development book while I’m cleaning and cooking. So look no further! I recommend this book to many of my coworkers and colleagues.

The app functionality has improved a lot with recent updates and I’ve been using it often to listen to stuff

I have processing differences that make it difficult to take in all the articles I want to read, emails I have to read, and all other things that pop up on my web browser. This app, even the free version, has made it so much easier to take in all the stuff I want and need to online

I was able to have my guy read me questions so I can answer them, very clear and easy to pause.

It’s an amazing app I do not have the money extremely helpful it can make my productivity times 1000 so I have breathing problems I’ve had a head injury and cannot concentrate on lies

This app is very helpful. I am so glad my daughter put me up on game. This will help with my reading and also comprehension.

Im so thank for this app! As a mother , work part-time ,student and trying to juggle life being able to listen to my class work is amazing. Especially, because I’m not the strongest reader. Thank you so much Cliff for this amazing gift!

This is a great app for anyone who wants TTS. I hope they improve the new “Mr. President” voice a little bit. It can be a little buggy, but besides that I don’t really have any complaints.

Safari extension requires iOS 15 or newer. Seems to work pretty decently and it’s free for that so I’m sticking with it.

I really like how you can choose the voice, my reader is from the UK 😭 but it’s a great app, very helpful.

Works great, misses some part of words but that’s expected with scanning from a camera.

Without this app I will probably failed class thank you so much you should get it

My daughter shared this with me and set it up. I had 2 chapters to read for assignment. This was amazing to do this. So glad I did.

i bought a one year subscription for over $100 dollars and it said i ran out of credits to ask the ai questions??? how am i gonna pay over $100 and it still wants more money…. JUST GREEDY

Speechify reads all tables and figures, which is distracting at times because if there is a table/figure on the page and it has not finished the sentence (because it is on the opposite page) it will read the table/figure before completing the sentence and will then start in the middle of the sentence after reading the table/figure. I purchased Speechify because after I researched other text-to-speech apps, Speechify was supposed to be the best for students who would like for it to read textbook

The potential is there. The app forces you to spend 8 mins signing up and customizing your experience and then prohibits you from using any of your customizations until you pay. There’s only one free voice and it’s terrible.

You should really have an X at the top right to skip the first launch app intro. I’m a paid subscriber having to sit and watch the app intro video to use the app, very annoying. Very frictiony.

for what you pay for premium, you can't simply have your files read if you're out of service/ no wifi. also often glitchy and esp after cropping pages and such. i'd look for a different option before having to commit for a year :/

I have the premium version and unfortunately, this application is not that good, it skips words, both simple and complex, changes voices and goes out of sync of the text. Wish I wouldn’t have purchased.

It is not the best option.
