“Speechify is absolutely brilliant. Growing up with dyslexia this would have made a big difference. I’m so glad to have it today.“
Sir Richard Branson
Excellent app!! I've been using it for the past week due to throat surgery and it's been extremely helpful. If you don't mind me suggesting, I would add a "clear" button to delete all text written, faster and more easily. I would also add a "select sentence" option so that if you want to repeat one it doesn't start from the beginning. I managed to do it once but I couldn't do it again so I think it was not intuitive enough (for me at least). Good job over all

ENGAGEMENT Kids are empowered when they listen to differences among letter sounds, piece these together to sound out words, and build their own library of sight words. The pre-recorded audio playback gives kids independence to explore words. PEDAGOGY This powerful tool allows kids to learn consonants and long and short vowel sounds as well as letter combination sounds and word parts. The app lacks some basics for beginning readers, but it presents phonemic awareness in an engaging way. SUPPORT The interface is clean with clear controls. It's very customizable and allows adults to create individual flashcards or sets of flashcards, with personal audio playback.
Kim A.Children may quickly learn to identify, read, and speak words by using the Phonics Genius program. In addition to the enjoyable activities for practice, the app has over 6,000 words organized by phonics. Phonic awareness is one of the finest ways to quickly pick up the ability to speak, read, and recognize words. This program is specifically made to assist kids with recognizing and differentiating words based on their sounds. It contains just about every conceivable phonetic combination presented in a straightforward, excellent, and thoroughly engaging manner. Students frequently wear headphones when they work on various targeted skills or in small groups, depending on the circumstances. You can get Phonics Genius for nothing—right, that's for nothing!
When I paste an entire volume of a novel and press play it reads instantly, it even adds another option known as "Speak with talk" when you highlight text on a wiki page or google searches. this is a proper text to speech app. The only problem is, it gets interupted when a notification arrives, now you have to back track where it stopped. Luckily there is a seek which you can use to guess and continue from there.

It sounds pretty natural. I'm happy listening to news articles on this. No intrusive ads. Occasional problem where it tries to open a link hidden somewhere in the text I send it. This can be fixed by pasting as plain text but I would prefer for this to be the default when selecting the app from the share menu. Also I would like a progress bar to see how much is left to play

I've been looking for something like this, oddly enough, I wasn’t having much luck. All I found were apps that were too specific/couldn't read from 3rd party apps, or apps I had to pay for. Then, I came across this little beauty. It's simple & efficient. Good work. Thanks. I've ONE complaint. The read out of highlighted text will randomly stop when played from the context menu but, reads fine if typed (copy/paste, in this case) into the app itself. Aside from that, I've had no problems at all.

I love how there are many pronunciations and a speaker. The bad thing is every time I play a record of my voice, the speaker's volume is smaller

Earning Points For Play Would Help hold the interest of my 6 year old son. The content is spot on (5 Stars)and there could be loads of learning going on here if my son were even just a little more engaged by earning something! Haha! Anything —Stars, points, cash to by some virtual something...he like to win things. While great content the game application of finding the right word of six words just drones on with the words, great, perfect or good job. Cool sounds would also add to raising the engagement factor as well. Great app just need some swagger to engage a savvy audience!! Engagement score (1 Star) combined with content score (5 stars) to come up with a total rating of 3

Good but needs improvements It’s very helpful. However, the words change by touching the screen. This limits us to cover and teach the kids letter by letter. The words accidentally change by a gentle screen touch. It’s very annoying and limits all the good things about this app. Adding one option to change the words by screen sliding than touching will greatly help.
