About this app

Speechify is a text to speech (tts) screen reader that can read any text, PDF, document, book, email, file, or article online out loud on your phone.
Choose from over 30 different AI-engineered voices and 20 different languages including popular languages such as Spanish, French, German, Italian, Chinese, Japanese, Russian, and Portuguese. Read along while the narrator guides you through the text.

How does it work?
Use Speechify to scan any printed text on a page or in a book, upload any PDF, or copy and paste any text from anywhere on your phone. Then sit back and listen as your chosen AI narrator reads the information out loud to you.

Speechify is an intelligent text to speech audio reader that turns your reading material into interactive audiobooks so that you can save time, retain more information, and stay focused. It's like having your own personal reading assistant and narrator right in your pocket. Speechify can read books, documents, and articles — while you cook, work out, commute, or any other activity you can think of.

When it works, it's fabulous. But often it takes hours before I can successfully upload the document I want to read. It is supposed to link to Google Drive, but only does so maybe one try in 10. Linked to Kindle, Speechify reads a paragraph or so and then stops. Reading PDFs, Speechify adds arbitrary pauses in weird places - often at the end of each print line in a paragraph, which makes it very hard to follow by listening (but then it doesn't consistently pause at periods). Frustrating!

Oh my gosh, This is what I have been looking for. English as a subject is hard, and I find it is a great help to ask Ai's like perplexity, but I just hate reading through blank text, waiting to be inspired, but this app is perfect. I was worried that I might have to pay or something but so far it is completly free, and no I don't mean a free trial, I mean there is a free version that you can use with limited document (which you can just deleat as you go, so it doesn't affect you.) Voices human:)

Can be used with the Kindle app if you only want to listen to bits and pieces of it. I restarted the app and my phone, deleted the book, and redownloaded it twice. It is skipping huge portions and reading the book out of order. It's very frustrating for something 100 bucks a year. I tried other books on Kindle and had the same issue. I read primarily on my phone and didn't try any solid books. It gave me a 3 day trail period. I've already canceled it.
