Direct answer
What is Speechify?
Speechify reads documents, web pages, and books aloud in natural voices, and its Studio and API extend the same voice models to voiceovers, cloning, and dubbing.
Speechify began as a reading tool for people with dyslexia and grew into a broad text-to-speech product: listen to PDFs, articles, and emails at adjustable speeds on any device, with celebrity and premium voices. Speechify Studio adds voiceover generation, voice cloning, AI dubbing, and avatars for creators, while the API exposes low-latency speech synthesis to developers.
A consumer-scale reading app paired with creator and developer voice tools, strong on accessibility and cross-device listening.
