Let’s get one thing clear right off the bat. It doesn’t matter if you spell Speechify like this or that. The app will do its magic regardless of what you call it. After all, it’s the best text to speech tool there is, and doing otherwise just wouldn’t do it.
Jokes aside, it’s not uncommon for people to make typos. Moreover, we all make them. It’s just a matter of low concentration, and sometimes, not knowing. Nevertheless, we’re here to make some things clearer. So, let’s see how to spell the word speechify.
What is text to speech technology
Before we examine some grammar, we should talk about the app itself. Namely, we’ve said that Speechify is the best text-to-speech app on the market. But what is text-to-speech technology? What does it do, and who uses it?
Text to speech, or TTS as it's often referred to, is a technology that transcribes written words into audio. This means that these tools recognize characters, symbols, and words and provide them back to users as fully audible speech through an AI read-aloud narrator.
Apps that use this technology are meant to help people overcome reading disabilities like dyslexia, vision impairment, ADHD, and others. Nevertheless, they aren’t just for these people. Anyone who wants to listen instead of reading can use them.
The reason they are becoming more and more popular is that they can improve text comprehension, increase reading speed for dyslexics, as well as allow you to multitask. With a TTS app, you can save time and listen to docs and various digital formats while you drive, jog, or walk your dog.
Due to the popularity of this technology, more and more text to speech apps are popping up around the internet. Still, there has to be the best one, and it’s Speechify. The reasons why are many, so allow us to let you in on them.
Features of Speechify
Speechify inc sets itself apart from the competition due to the high-quality tech it’s based on. Of course, we’re referring to optical character recognition (OCR), artificial intelligence, and powerful machine learning. All these components combined allow users to enjoy a smooth and premium experience.
Unlike with most other TTS apps out there, you can snap photos or screenshots of physical text and the OCR component will recognize and transcribe it into speech. You can also use keyboard shortcuts and bookmark any sentence and start listening to it immediately.
Another reason to use Speechify text to speech app is its functionality that doesn’t require complex tutorials to get the hang of the program. It offers more than 150 natural-sounding voices for over 30 languages (Portuguese, Spanish, English, etc.). All this makes it a perfect tool for foreign language learners.
Where to get Speechify
All the features above would be for nothing if it was hard to get Speechify. Luckily, the app is ready and available on all popular platforms. You can download it to your iOS (iPhone, iPad) or Android mobile device through their respectable app stores.
On the other hand, if you want it on your Microsoft Windows or mac OS computer, it’s possible to add Speechify as a plug-in for web browsers like Google Chrome or Apple’s very own Safari. All you have to do is to head over to the Speechify.com web page for onboarding.
Common misspellings of Speechify
Now that we’ve covered what Speechify and its text-to-speech technology are, we can go back to talking about spelling. Or, more precisely, misspelling.

- Speecify — No clever puns and phrases can describe this misspelling. It’s just people typing fast and leaving out the letter “H” behind.
