Speechify

Editorial Review

Speechify turns any text into listenable audio, making it invaluable for people who prefer auditory learning, have reading difficulties, or simply want to consume more content during commutes or exercise. The voice quality is among the best in consumer TTS, with over 1,000 voices including celebrity impersonations. The free tier offers basic TTS with limited voices, while the Premium plan at $29/month unlocks all voices, unlimited listening, OCR scanning, and higher playback speeds up to 5x. The browser extension is particularly useful, adding a listen button to virtually any web page. Speechify excels as a personal reading assistant but the $29/month price point is notably high for a TTS tool. Competitors like NaturalReader offer similar core functionality at lower prices. Speechify's advantages are its voice variety, speed options, and polished cross-platform experience. It is especially popular among students and professionals who need to process large volumes of text efficiently.
