About Speechify
Speechify is a text-to-speech app that reads documents, web pages and books aloud in natural-sounding voices. It is available as a web app, browser extensions and apps for phones and computers, and it also includes voice typing.
What it does
Upload a PDF, paste text or open a web page, and Speechify reads it aloud with the current text highlighted, so you can follow along. Speed control lets you listen at your own pace, and a scan feature reads printed pages through a photo.
