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.

Speechify is an intelligent text to speech audio reader that turns your reading material into interactive audiobooks so that you can save time, retain more information, and stay focused. 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.

Needs to skip button for when someone who already has previously signed up. I don't need to listen to all of the voices when I've been inactive user for several years. Also your ads could be a little bit less misleading. This app already has great attributes without putting one slip don't exist. For anyone who is new and looking into it you can't just take a picture of the cover and then listen to the book you have to scan every page. unless you buy the book from speechify.

Please do not buy this app if you are trying to read textbooks for school or learning. This app is unable to understand pauses in textbooks that may not be in normal books, (especially line breaks in new chapters, and each chapter section). It sounds like a giant run on sentence. They charged me 135 for a year automatically after a 3 day trial, and I spent a month trying to fix it. I will not be using this app, and "support" is not helpful at all.

It's a scam!!! I was only able to use this app if I signed up (with payment info) for a free trial, with the PROMISE that I would be reminded before the trial ended. I reluctantly signed up because I was looking for something to help with translating my physical medical coding textbook into audio, as I have eye strain/migraines when reading. It says it works for text books and can process text from photos, but I ensure you, IT DOES NOT! $70+ WASTED!!
