Speechify is proud to be featured as “App of the Day” on the WILX News 10 website, spotlighting how people are turning written content into audio to keep up with modern workloads. The coverage appeared as part of the station’s popular What the Tech? series and focused on how Speechify helps users listen to emails, articles, and documents instead of staring at screens.
In the article, What the Tech? The App of the Day is Speechify, technology reporter Jamey Tucker described how readers are increasingly “drowning in things they have to read” and how Speechify transforms that overload into something users can listen to while walking, driving, or multitasking. The full feature is published on the WILX News 10 website and distributed across its digital and broadcast platforms.
The coverage highlighted several of Speechify’s core capabilities:
- Turning written text into natural-sounding audio
- Allowing users to paste links and listen to long articles instantly
- Scanning printed pages with a phone camera and converting them into speech
- Connecting with Kindle libraries to turn books into audiobooks
The report also emphasized what sets Speechify apart: its ability to recognize punctuation and phrasing in a way that makes audio sound less robotic and more like a real person reading aloud. The segment noted that users can adjust playback speed to save time and that Speechify offers premium voices, including celebrity voices, alongside a free tier for casual use.
“Local news websites remain one of the most trusted places people discover useful technology,” said Cliff Weitzman, Founder and CEO of Speechify.. “We’re honored to be featured by WILX News 10 and included in coverage that focuses on a real everyday problem: finding time to read everything you need to read.”
The feature pointed to Speechify’s appeal for students, busy professionals, and anyone who prefers learning by listening. By converting long articles and documents into audio, users can consume information while commuting, exercising, or handling daily tasks, turning idle moments into productive ones.
