  • Still bad, but now with AI!

    It takes your pdf or document and reads it in a natural voice. Many apps can do this now. Siri or macOS voice reader can do this quite well with speak selection. But Speechify alone has the best skipping features. The voices are good-ish, but nowhere near as natural as Siri, OpenAI, Gemini or Perplexity’s voices. Those voices never trip up, rarely mispronounce, and sound natural. Would you like to hear a bad robot version of Gwenyth Paltrow mangle hyphenated words, roman numerals, numbered references, inserts, footers, acronyms? $70 a year please. Also, can’t highlight and save notes like, ahem, another voice reader app. Its AI functions are redundant and unnecessary for summarization. Unfortunately I still rely on this app every day to get through reading academic articles. It is the best of a terrible class of half baked pdf voice reader apps trying to lock people into a subscription service while underdelivering on the fundamentals. The celebrity tie ins, promo code marketing, wait-dont-cancel-we’ll-give-you-a-discount pricing, and useless AI has not materialized into a superior product. However the real travesty is that the big players, see above, haven’t released a version that ties into macOS Preview, or Google docs. That would be a productivity boon.

    This is exactly what I have needed to be able to read (hear) documents and books that I struggle to find time to sit down and read. I absolutely love the innovation!

    There’s zero support. I’m canceling.
  • Setup is awful

    So, I already made a purchase and all I’m trying to do is login to my account. And you cannot! Unless you watch all their demos and reading texts for half an hour. It’s so irritating and you can’t skip any of it.

    I dig Gwyneth Paltrow's reading style and vocal tones.
  • Crush my MacBook pro

    I downloaded this app to read my PDF files, and initially, it worked smoothly. However, it began to severely lag whenever I switched between different apps on my screen. I even had to force shut down my MacBook and restart it, but the problem persisted once I reopened Speechify. As part of my troubleshooting, I closed my apps one by one and found that quitting Speechify resolved the lag. I have a paid subscription and would really like to continue using this app on my MacBook. Please address this issue!

  • Update Broke Select Text to Speak

    By Disapointed but optimistic
    This used to be a five-star for me, but since the latest update, I can no longer simply select text and press the Speechify play button in the menu bar to make the program read it aloud. If, for instance, I choose one paragraph for Speechify to read, it becomes locked on the one paragraph, and I can’t select another passage for Spotify to read. It will just continue to read the first passage I selected even after I have selected others. Very frustrating.
  • I love it!

    I have ADHA and dyslexia so reading long textbooks is so difficult. I'm so happy I found this app. It's made doing my homework faster
