Speechify is proud to be featured in a recent What the Tech? segment published on the WFMZ-TV 69 News website, spotlighting how people are turning written content into audio to keep up with modern reading demands. The coverage focused on how Speechify helps users listen to emails, documents, and long articles instead of staring at screens.
In the article, What the Tech? Speechify: This app will read for you, technology reporter Jamey Tucker described how readers are increasingly “drowning in things they’re supposed to read” and how Speechify transforms that overload into something users can listen to while walking, driving, or multitasking. The feature is available directly on the WFMZ website and distributed across its digital platforms.
The coverage highlighted several of Speechify’s core capabilities, including converting written text into natural-sounding audio, pasting links to instantly listen to long articles, scanning printed pages with a phone camera, and connecting with Kindle libraries to turn books into audiobooks. It also noted that users can adjust playback speed to save time when listening to longer documents.
The report emphasized what sets Speechify apart: its ability to recognize punctuation and phrasing in a way that makes audio feel less robotic and more like a real person reading aloud. The segment also pointed out that Speechify’s premium version offers a wide selection of voices, including well-known celebrity voices, while the free version provides more basic options for everyday use.
The feature highlighted Speechify’s appeal for students, busy professionals, and people who learn better by listening. By turning articles and documents into audio, users can consume information while commuting, exercising, or managing daily tasks, helping them turn idle moments into productive time.
