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.

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.

Excellent for documents, emails , pdfs, weblinks and scanning books. However, they really need to work on reading kindle books as it only reads a little then starts to get confused and reads random sentences instead, even in multilayers. That if it works at all. So it's a bit buggy here and needs a corrective update (please please 🥺)

I wanted this to proofread, but the app is frequently glitchy. It doesn't order numbers correctly (10 follows 1 instead of 9) and there's a monthly word limit which is not made transparent when you sign up. The voices are good, but for me the issues aren't worth it. I have to restart the app too often. Edit: every time one issue is fixed, another pops up. Now the app won't read out the letter 'f' in certain docs. Shouldn't have to reinstall this often, especially with the longwinded sign-up part

This app is very glitchy with a lot of stops and starts. Having paid £75 upfront fee, the text book it read with no problem pre-trial is now apparently an "image based" pdf, unsupported in this version of the app, although it sometimes w so I feel as if I'm being conned into upgrading. I would make very sure before you buy which features you need in terms of types of docs to read, amount of monthly uses, etc, as you can't pay monthly.
