Top App Store Reviews for Speechify

Super helpful love the voice options. I get super distracted and my eyes hurt/ very photosensitive in spring and summer, so this is amazing ‍♀️

I have bout’s off blurry vision and this app is changing my life.

Very nice program. My eyesight is not as good as it used to be considering my age (78) and I love to read. This program helps me to read at night. Often I can't sleep and get up to read and the darkness and artificial light makes it harder but your program solves that problem.

My eye dt. Said I was going blind. This way I can read emails or even read my Bible. It isthe best reading apt. I have found.

Now I can take a deep cleansing breath. For a person who is visually impaired, this brings some normalcy to my life.

I am losing my sight, so will be needing this more and more. The voices are quite good.

I use this app to read back my writing. It helps me hear if there are any repetitive words or phrases, if the sentences are flowing well. It also helps me listen for any spelling mistakes. Really enjoying using it and I have already recommended it to others.

Although we're not all writers, we all need to write. Essays. Reports. A thank you note to Gram and Gramps for the birthday underwear and socks. The Christmas brag sheet you send out with the cards every year. Ever wonder how all that writing sounds to others? Silently reading what you've written is one way to find rough spots in your writing. A better way to do this is to read it aloud -- something to do with using different parts of your brain to read and hear. A much better way to do this is to have somebody else read it to you. That way you can just close your eyes and listen as the words wash over you. But what happens if you don't have somebody to read to you? There are a number of apps nowadays that have text-to-speech capability. I chose Speechify and am delighted that I did. I get great readings where I can simply listen for words that could be improved and for places where my writing, while technically fine, doesn't flow as well as I need it to. Trust me, if the machine stumbles over your words, your readers will, too. This is a great app for students writing essays or businesspeople writing reports. It won't write your paper (sorry). It won't tell you what you've misspelled or where your grammar is wrong. Or will it? I'm a published author, yet English was far and away my least favorite subject in school. How's that saying go -- I hated it with the heat of a thousand suns? You get the idea. But here's a secret. We as native English speakers intuitively *know* how things are supposed to sound. Even if we wouldnt recognize a compound, complex sentence or gerund to save our lives. That's where Speechify can help. Even if you have only a very vague idea of what you're doing, you can rewrite until it sounds right to you. Still not happy? Tweak, paste, and play again. That's how I use it. Best of luck in your writing adventures.

Gave me exactly what I wanted: a way to hear my writing out loud, not in my own voice!

over the last year I’ve been using Speechify to proofread my writing and it has been enormously helpful. It has definitely improved the quality of my written communications.

So far so cool!! Love the voice and speed options. My eyes just aren’t what they used to be. Fabulous to listen to articles.

I can’t being to describe how helpful Speechify is. I’m a writer and the irony does not go unnoticed to me. This app makes my edits so much easier. I can focus on the flow of the material and take note of where I hear a stutter. Knowing it’s my typing that messed up and not my brain reading what I already wrote. Thank you!

This is a great idea, I am losing my sight and hopefully this will help me. Thanks Cathy

I’m a writer and the last part of my editing process is listening to my book being read so I can find those parts where I left things out or mixed things up. This is way more exciting than the robot in my word processor

I typically write stories in my free time, and I use this app to help read certain school assignment and novels. The only complaint I have to say about this app is most of the voices are hard to hear, and can’t always pronounce a word properly. Yes my grammar could use work but the way it says words sometimes jumbled them. Other than that it is a good app.

This is a great app for any one who has a hard time reading due to poor sight or poor reading habits. It allows me to get more work done and still keep up with e-mails and news.

This app has improved incrementally for the most part. I’m legally blind and this app has really helped me. The voice quality and near realistic AI reader are great. There’s a safari web reader that I cannot quite get to work but based on development so far, I expect it will improve. HOWEVER! Entropy is inevitable in all app and website development. No site will get simpler ever (it’s the 2 law of thermodynamics and just is). For some reason articles I send for reading no longer keep their title to a number which makes it harder for me to find what I’m looking for. I have to read smaller print under the digits to find the article if there’s not an obvious picture or something. I send lots of articles over every day since, as I said, I’m going blind and rely on speechify more each day. So I wonder can this switch to digits be modified by me. Much of app entropy happen when a tech person thinks of an improvement we users should like but the tech is not a user. I hope this happened by some blunder that I can correct. I don’t think it’s a good idea. I hasten to sum up. I rely heavily on this app. It’s the best of many I tried by a magnitude.

I have not even had this app for an hour and I am already in love. I love writing and I’m so happy about all of the options they give you. I was able to upload my writing to this and it read it for me. It also makes school (being a middle school student) so much easier. Plus, it is super entertaining since I’m not a fan of reading on my own. I’m so glad I found this app and I 1000% recommended!

So far I really love this app. I’m a hobby novelist/writer but I far prefer to hear my draft, rather than reread it. The only improvement it needs to to figure out a setting for novels specifically that could pace breaks between chapters, or even dialogue and the context of it?

As a writer, this app helps me write . It has helped me listen and allows me to hear different ways of saying what I have said. It is facilitating my creativity.
