Speechify

Speechify is a voice and audio platform with separate consumer reading, Studio, and API experiences. Its Text to Speech Reader reads books, articles, PDFs, emails, and web content aloud with synchronized highlighting and adjustable speed. Speechify Studio adds professional voiceover creation, editing, voice cloning options and dubbing; generative AI video and sound effects are listed as coming soon in Studio pricing; the API provides text-to-speech integrations and usage-based business options. Consumer, Studio, and API plans have different rights and pricing, so they should not be merged.
