Most popular feedback for Speechify

I’ve always been so frustrated with my dyslexia. It just gets in the way and slows me down. This app is a huge help in getting past the barriers that my dyslexia throws at me. I just wish I could pay monthly for the app. The annual chunk is at much for me to do all at once.

"Cloud Text to Speech API has a really pleasant working experience on a software I've had a user in terms of its features and capabilities. It includes multiples types, and formats of voices and supports SSML which is a must on complex voice projects. The API integrates with the customer service bot on the phone, to the read-aloud option for stories/books on our website."

"I used this with a service provider as a trial - surprisingly natural experience with unique tone to help personalise the interaction. It certainly felt somewhat real and lifelike and was consequently much more engaging, comfortable and seamless."

- Engineer - Energy Production

"Google text to speech is best tool which you use at minimal cost and code effort. It helps a lot in creating different voices. It has wide collection of voices."

- Project Manager - Education Industry
