Speechify Text To Speech is a mobile and desktop app that can have any text read aloud using a computer generated text to speech voice.[1][2][3]

It produces near human quality voices and performs optical character recognition that allows users to scan physical books[4] and instantly listen to them spoken like an audiobook.[5]

History[]

Speechify was founded by Cliff Weitzman, a dyslexic college student at Brown University[6][7] as a tool to allow him to keep up with his class readings.

Product[]

In addition to English, Speechify's in-app user interface is available in the following languages: French, German, Hindi, Italian, Japanese, Portuguese, Russian, Spanish, simplified Chinese, and traditional Chinese.[8]
