Overview
Users open a Chrome or Edge extension, mobile app or desktop client, paste or import documents, and follow highlighted text while a voice reads at a chosen speed; a scan-and-listen mode can work from a photo of a page. The company also markets accessibility benefits for people who find extended reading tiring. Free accounts can try core listening with a small set of basic voices and capped speed; Premium expands the voice library, languages and top speed and unlocks richer listening features. Limitation: free listening is intentionally constrained (basic voices and lower max speed), and Speechify is a reader—not a full audiobook studio or team dubbing tool.
Key features
- Listen to web pages, PDFs, docs and scanned pages with highlighted follow-along text
- Apps and extensions for iOS, Android, Chrome, Edge, Mac and Windows
- Adjustable listening speed plus a large Premium voice library
Limitations
Free accounts are limited to basic voices and lower playback speeds (roughly 1.5x on free versus much faster speeds on Premium); power users typically need Premium.
