Today Speechify announced the launch of its native Windows application, bringing real-time text to speech and voice typing to Windows users with the option to run entirely on-device.
Speechify, widely recognized as the world’s most used text to speech app, continues expanding its voice-first platform to desktop environments with this release. The Windows app introduces a unified system for listening, speaking, and writing using voice across one of the largest computing ecosystems in the world.
The app is available for both x64 devices powered by Intel and AMD and Arm64 devices powered by Qualcomm, including Copilot+ PCs. Users can choose between cloud-based and on-device processing and switch between them instantly.
Bringing Voice AI to Windows
Speechify’s Windows launch extends its Voice AI platform to over a billion Windows users globally. The app allows users to listen to documents, dictate text, and interact with content using voice across their daily workflows.
Speechify combines text to speech and speech to text into a single system designed for productivity. Users can convert PDFs, emails, websites, and documents into audio, or use voice typing to write across applications in real time.
When on-device mode is enabled, voice data never leaves the user’s machine. This gives users full control over how their data is processed while still maintaining real-time performance.
By leveraging GPU acceleration with intelligent fallback alongside NPU support, Speechify is able to deliver consistent performance across devices, resulting in faster time-to-market for users on AMD, Intel, and Qualcomm PCs.
Thanks to Windows ML, the Speechify team is able to expand access to on-device models and features across x64 and Arm64 systems, while scaling to additional silicon through GPU support when dedicated NPU acceleration is not available.
Built for On-Device AI Across Modern Windows Hardware
Speechify’s Windows app is designed to run across multiple architectures and chipsets using a unified system.
The platform supports:
- x64 devices powered by Intel and AMD
- Arm64 devices powered by Qualcomm
- NPU-accelerated systems such as Copilot+ PCs
- GPU-accelerated Windows machines
By using the Windows ML stack and ONNX Runtime, Speechify is able to deploy multiple production AI models locally across these environments from a single codebase.
These models include real-time text to speech, voice activity detection, and speech to text transcription, enabling a complete voice workflow directly on-device.
Real-Time Voice Typing and Transcription
Speechify enables real-time voice typing across Windows applications. Users can activate dictation with a shortcut and instantly convert speech into text in any input field.
The system processes speech continuously, allowing users to write emails, documents, and messages without switching tools.
On supported devices, transcription can run entirely on-device. Users can also switch to cloud-based processing depending on their needs, with the system adapting instantly at runtime.
Designed for Seamless, Continuous Use
Speechify engineered the Windows app for uninterrupted voice workflows.
Audio input, transcription, and playback are handled through a real-time pipeline that minimizes latency and avoids gaps in speech. This allows users to move naturally between listening and speaking within the same workflow.
The app also includes native Windows integrations such as system-wide shortcuts, direct text insertion into active fields, and screen-based text capture.
Built for Windows, Not Ported to It
Speechify’s Windows app is built as a native application with deep integration into the Windows platform.
This enables:
System-wide voice typing across applications
Real-time text insertion into active fields
OCR-based text capture from the screen
Secure local storage using Windows encryption
These are platform capabilities that make this Speechify app truly built for Windows.
Driving Growth Across Professionals and Enterprise
The Windows launch reflects growing demand from professionals and enterprise users who want voice AI integrated directly into desktop workflows.
Speechify has seen increasing adoption among users who rely on voice to process large amounts of information, write faster, and reduce time spent on manual reading and typing.
"Over a billion people on this planet use Windows," said Cliff Weitzman, Founder and CEO of Speechify. "With this Windows launch, we're making sure that reading, and now writing, is never a barrier, no matter what device you use or how you prefer to work. We're especially excited about the opportunity in the enterprise given how many professionals have asked for Speechify on their PCs."
A Step Toward Voice-First Computing
Speechify’s Windows release reflects a broader shift toward voice-first computing.
Instead of relying only on typing and reading, users can now listen to information, ask questions, and generate content using voice. This reduces friction between consuming and creating information and allows users to move faster through their workflows.
Availability
The Speechify Windows app is available now for x64 and Arm64 devices through the Microsoft Store.
