How Speechify Supports Students

Unlock the potential of learning with Speechify. Speechify offers vital auditory support that transforms the way students with disabilities engage with text.

Visual Processing and Visual Impairments

Speechify provides an auditory alternative for students who find it challenging to process large amounts of text visually; this can be particularly beneficial for those with visual stress. With Speechify, students can access over 200 lifelike voices to ensure a more pleasurable listening experience for extended periods.

Attention and Focus

Students can mix background music with the audio version of their text, enabling them to stay engaged and focused for longer periods. The ability to listen while moving or engaging in low-level activities can aid concentration for some students and boost productivity.

Dyslexia

Speechify can significantly benefit dyslexic students by removing the barrier of decoding text, allowing them to focus on understanding the content. The synchronised highlighting feature can help dyslexic students follow along with the text as it’s read out loud.

Students with chronic fatigue or other conditions that limit their reading ability for long periods can use Speechify to access their course materials without exhausting themselves. Listening rather than reading can help students manage energy levels and increase study stamina.

Cognitive Load

Speechify lightens the mental strain of processing text, making it easier for students experiencing fatigue or brain fog to absorb information. By offering an auditory mode of information intake, Speechify allows students to focus more on understanding and less on the mechanics of reading.
