A Favorite Learning and Literacy App
Apple's recognition of Speechify as a Favorite Learning and Literacy app is a testament to its effectiveness in making reading more accessible and engaging for a wide range of users. By addressing the unique challenges faced by a variety of users, Speechify breaks down the walls to learning and literacy. This is also shown by Speechify’s iOS reviews some of which include:
“I am a security supervisor full-time, and I am also a full-time business student. The only reason why I was able to cover the material required. For me to do the necessary assignments as well as get the A’s on the tests that I did was because I could cover the material at 500 while I was at work with my headphones.”
“Speechify has enabled me to expand what and how much I read. I’ve always heard that learners are readers which was motivation to read more so that I could grow my leadership. I struggled to read more than 3 books in a year because I was a slow reader and just couldn’t find the time during the day and reading at night made me fall asleep. Then I discovered audiobooks and my world changed. I began reading 20, 30, and up to 50 books a year. I was still missing out on the most up to date content because not everyone releases an audio version of a book, white paper or article. Speechify gives me the ability to turn almost everything into audio.”
“I’m an avid audiobook reader. My other books tended to get unread. Because reading makes my eyes sleepy. So this will help me finish those precious books that I’ve been collecting all these years.”
