How Speechify Helps Students

Whether you're studying for exams, reading textbooks, or completing assignments, Speechify is a game-changing tool for students of all ages, offering innovative features that support a variety of learning needs. Speechify’s Premium features are designed to make learning more accessible and effective. Here are just a few key ways that Speechify can help students in their academic journey:

Enhanced Accessibility

Speechify helps ensure that educational content is accessible to all students, regardless of their reading abilities or learning disabilities. For students with visual impairments, dyslexia, or other challenges, Speechify provides an inclusive and effective way to interact with learning materials. The audio format allows students to access the same information as their peers, breaking down barriers to education.

Improved Reading Comprehension

Speechify turns written text into high-quality audio, allowing students to listen to books, articles, and other reading materials. This auditory approach helps improve reading comprehension, as students can hear the content while following along with the text. It is especially beneficial for students with dyslexia or other reading challenges who might struggle with traditional reading methods.

Increased Focus and Retention

The text to speech feature helps students maintain focus by removing distractions. Listening to text can increase engagement and retention, especially for students who might otherwise struggle to stay focused while reading like those with ADHD. This feature is useful when studying for exams or reviewing lengthy materials, as it allows students to absorb information in a more interactive and focused way.

Support for Writing & Proofreading 

Speechify also assists students with writing tasks. The text to speech feature can be used to read written drafts aloud, helping students spot grammatical mistakes, awkward phrasing, or repetitive content. In addition, it helps with note-taking by allowing students to listen to lecture notes or other written materials, making it easier to review and organize their ideas.

Better Time Management

For students juggling multiple assignments and activities, Speechify’s ability to convert written text into speech helps save time. Students can listen to content while performing other tasks, such as commuting or exercising, turning downtime into productive learning opportunities. Speechify’s speech controls also allow students to adjust their reading speed to their pace, including up to 4.5x the average reading speed. 

Top Speechify Features for Students

Speechify's tools are designed to make learning more efficient, accessible, and engaging. The top features that make Speechify a must-have resource for students, include:

200+ Lifelike AI Voices

Speechify's extensive library of over 200 lifelike AI voices, including celebrity voices like Snoop Dogg, allows students to choose the voice that works best for their learning style. These natural-sounding voices bring text to life, making it easier for students to stay engaged and focused. Whether it’s a historical text, a complex scientific concept, or an extensive textbook, the clear and smooth voices improve comprehension and ensure that students can understand and retain information with ease.

Multilingual Support

Speechify offers support for 60+ languages, making it an ideal tool for multilingual students or those learning a new language. It can help language learners improve their skills by hearing proper pronunciation of languages. Whether students are reading foreign textbooks or learning new vocabulary, Speechify helps bridge the gap by providing native pronunciations. This feature is a game-changer for students in language immersion programs or those working on bilingual assignments.

Text Highlighting

Speechify can highlight text as it’s being read aloud. This helps students follow along with the material, reinforcing their understanding and making it easier to navigate through large bodies of text. Text highlighting is especially helpful for students who struggle with attention or focus, as it creates a visual connection between the spoken and written word. This can be particularly beneficial when studying for exams or reviewing dense academic content.

AI Features

Students often find themselves overwhelmed by long passages or chapters of reading. Speechify’s AI-powered summaries help distill complex texts into easily digestible chunks. Speechify also offers an AI chat feature that acts like a tutor, helping students clarify concepts and answer questions in real-time. Additionally, to aid in exam preparation, Speechify offers an AI quiz generation tool that allows students to transform documents into quizzes with a click of a button.

Speed Controls

One of the unique features of Speechify is its customizable speed control, which allows students to adjust their reading speed to fit their needs. With the ability to speed up reading to 4.5x the normal rate (900 words per minute), Students can absorb large volumes of information more quickly. This feature is perfect for students who need to review material efficiently. Adjusting the speed can also help students focus on more challenging sections by slowing down when necessary.

OCR Scanning for Textbooks and More

Speechify's OCR (Optical Character Recognition) scanning capability allows students to convert printed text, such as textbooks, handwritten notes, photos, and worksheets, into digital audio. With just a scan of a page, Speechify will read the content aloud, making it easier to study physical books or notes. This feature is particularly useful for students with visual impairments or those who struggle with reading printed text. OCR scanning also makes it possible to access educational content on the go, as students can scan and listen to printed materials from virtually any location.
