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.

The text scanning on this is cumbersome and really needs overhauled to make it usable. Other apps take a pic and go right away. This makes you take a pic, crop it, save it, give it time to generate and then still misses words. Multiple page scanning is probably the worst I've ever seen. like piecing a puzzle together with all the cropping and then hoping it captures it. I've tried and it will not read entire paragraphs. Good voice quality but the app is super clunky. Also yes it crashes for me

There's no way to cancel, so they'll scam charge you. I tried for days to cancel, but there's no way to find how to in the app, nor the website. The voices are choppy, robotic, and the app freezes or stops or crashes constantly. Do not fall for the reviews!!! I suspect they are bots! It's a terrible app, service, and overpriced for the buggy garbage you actually get! Ironically I never would have posted a review if they had just been honest and let me cancel since the service is unusable!

I've had this since January, and a lot has improved, i.e. connectivity, and epub handling. I found a couple voices I really like, and use a lot. Three points: 1. short words are mangled horribly(and it seems that situation gets worse each update); 2. they read em dash as "minus", making some of my texts sound like a really convoluted equation; 3. they tack on odd sounds wherever there's dialogue preceded by "
