Top Learning differences Reviews for Speechify

For those people that need to hear it for themselves to learn it easier this is the app for you!

I’ve always learned more when hearing and seeing the words are done together

I read so much text but I often find my mind drifting if I don’t have an audible reinforce for the articles and books that I am reading. This app wonderfully allows me to read books and magazine in their printed form.

I’ve just started using this app, but have been impressed with the ability to scan several pages in a book and then almost instantly have it read back to me much quicker than I naturally read. I’m an auditory learner that has needed glasses for most of my life (despite lasik which only provided temporary release from lenses). Reading long passages can cause fatigue, while listening allows me to take notes and sketch concepts that would otherwise be impossible to do while reading.

I tend to zone out when reading academic articles and texts books and need to have them reading to me with highlighted words. I feel this gives an interactive and engaging spin on academics. It also help the info I’m reading “stick” by combining reading, hearing, and visually seeing the words on screen. This app is great for those that learn like I do.

I recently got back into school and I quickly found out how much I miss normal in-class sessions. All my classes are online and while I thought all classes were zoom-calls or at least video lectures, I was wrong. Most of my lectures are typed out and between that and a book I find myself really struggling to understand it without hearing it. Now once I found Speechify and saw how many voice options there is I knew it would be perfect! As soon as I got my documents downloaded I was able to take notes while listening like a normal class lecture. It’s even better in some ways because I can actually go back and repeat parts I missed or didn’t understand quite yet. I think the only thing that would make this app even better is the ability to view Speechify in split-screen. I’m not sure how it works for different platforms but I have an I-Pad Pro. So far I have just been viewing the lecture on the Files app in split screen while I type notes in the other. I’d like to be able to interact with Speechify in split-screen instead. Thank you for making this app though! It helped me get back on track for college!

I don’t usually post reviews for anything I use or buy but this app does work. If you are looking to just listen to something rather than read it than get this app.

I’m an audible learner. Speechify helps me to comprehend readings better than I am capable of reading the text silently.

Hello I loved my experience now I can hear it witch is much easier for me. Thanks, Lucy

I use this program on a daily basis it does 98% of my reading. I to have trouble with comprehension I learned by seeing and reading so this is perfect my thirst for knowledge and speechify great

I’ve always preferred audio because I can read fast and now this combines both because used to challenge myself and read to myself out loud and now someone else can do it for me and. I can challenge myself so I can learn more! Love this app and I’m barely beginning!!!

I can read but retention is my problem. I’ve always been best at listening and hands on when it comes to learning. I’m excited to dive in and learn more. Thanks Cliff. You ROCK!

I can read fine, but I find listening way more engaging. Speechify allows me to “read” longer without losing focus.

This is probably the only app that is critical in my life. It might sound counterintuitive for me to say that the app that lets you listen to text is for visual learners but hear (lol) me out. Research (google it) has shown that whether we are looking at images through our eyes or seeing/conjuring images in our mind's "eyes", the visual cortex becomes active. Let me rephrase, regardless of whether you're seeing things in reality, say pictures or text on a book or visualizing what you did yesterday, the same part of the gain is being used to process those "images." The way I comprehend and learn from information is by constantly forming mental images of the concepts and linking and rearranging them into a graph model in my head--this becomes slow/more difficult when I have to (using the same visual cortex) basically multi-task/process text I'm reading on a page and synthesize corresponding mental images; the same part of my brain is doing the processing for two different tasks, so my reading speed and the quality and speed of the synthesized information in my head suffer. This is where speechify comes in. Speechify lets me engage my auditory cortex, which is otherwise unused in learning (from reading), for consuming and processing the information (text) and allows me to fully engage my visual cortex for comprehension and learning. I hope this makes sense, and I'd love if people could share any supporting or conflicting research.

hey y’all i’m very neurodivergent, it takes me a long time to complete readings because I have to reread them 2 to 3 times to make sure I comprehend the writing. I’m not dumb or slow, I’m just either a) VERY thorough or b) passively reading until i realize i wasn’t absorbing anything. It’s not fun. Listening to the text while I’m reading genuinely helps me understand the first time around. It saves SO much time.

Wow finaly I’m paying more attention to what I’m reading thank you

This app has been a god sent. I learn better when I talk(read) and write things down. But something about Gweneth Reading to me has helped me A. Save my voice and B. was a calming voice which helped me comprehend everything better.. Thank you so much. Glad I stumbled across this on a Facebook chat….

I have a hard time reading so listening and scanning pages to have them read to me is MUAH chefs kiss

Really increased comprehension

I cannot be thankful enough for the creation of this App. I’ve always been anxious about reading my college textbooks and struggled. Now I can finally tackle my readings at a faster pace and enjoy it. I also realized that listening I can visually as lead
