Speechify operates a text-to-speech platform that converts written content into natural-sounding speech using AI. Founded in 2017, the company has built a presence across mobile (iOS and Android), desktop (Mac), browser extensions (Chrome and Edge), and a web-based platform. The company serves over 55 million users worldwide and supports more than 60 languages.
The platform enables users to listen to PDFs, books, documents, articles, and websites. Speechify's voice typing tools allow users to write through dictation, with the company claiming productivity gains of up to five times faster writing speed. The Chrome extension was named Chrome Extension of the Year by Google, and the iOS app received a 2025 Apple Design Award for inclusivity.
Speechify was founded by Cliff Weitzman, a dyslexia advocate, positioning accessibility as central to the company's mission. The platform's technical capabilities include voice cloning, dubbing, and multilingual speech synthesis across its product suite.
