Speechify builds voice software for people who prefer listening to written material and for creators producing spoken content. Its Reader turns documents, web pages, and photographed text into audio across mobile apps, desktop software, and browser extensions. Speechify Studio generates editable voiceovers and translates video dialogue through AI dubbing, while a separate developer API adds synthetic speech to other applications. Creators adjust voice pitch and pace, and developers choose voices and stream audio into their own products. The company sells Reader subscriptions and separately billed Studio and API plans, including paid usage for developers, and was founded in 2017.

Speechify has launched Voice Typing Dictation for iOS and Mac, offering AI-powered dictation across all apps on users' devices. The company claims its voice typing technology outperforms competitors including Dragon, Apple Dictation, Wispr Flow and Google Voice Typing. The new feature includes AI-powered auto-editing and promises zero typos. Voice Typing works universally across applications on both iOS and Mac platforms, expanding Speechify's product offering beyond its core text-to-speech technology. The launch represents Speechify's entry into the dictation software market, competing directly with established players in voice-to-text technology.
Speechify has launched a native Windows app using locally stored AI models for transcription and dictation across applications. The app can read aloud articles, documents and PDFs using the company's voice library. The Windows app processes voice entirely on-device on Copilot+ PCs and Windows 11 machines with compatible GPUs from Intel and AMD. It runs three on-device models: neural text-to-speech, real-time voice activity detection using the open-source Silero model, and Whisper-powered transcription. Users can switch to cloud-based models during usage. Speechify, which has over 50 million users, is competing with dictation apps like Wispr Flow and Superwhisper. The company recently expanded beyond text-to-speech into meeting transcription and voice assistance, positioning itself as a comprehensive voice application platform.
Speechify is more than a great app; it's a critical resource that helps people live their lives. - Apple
