What is Speechify?
Speechify is a text to speech platform with two products: a reader app that reads documents, PDFs and web pages aloud, and a Studio product for creating voiceovers. It offers 200+ AI voices in 60+ languages, plus voice cloning and dubbing, and suits both people who listen to text and video or podcast creators.
Reading long documents on screen is slow, and hiring voice actors for every video is expensive. The reader side turns text you already have into audio you can play faster or offline. The Studio side, which includes the AI voice generator, lets you type a script, pick or clone a voice, adjust speed, pitch and pronunciation, and dub content into other languages on a credit-based plan.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is Speechify free?
Partly. The Studio voice generator has a free tier with 600 credits, and the reader app has a limited free version with fewer voices. Paid Studio plans start at $19 per month, and reader Premium is billed separately.
Can I clone my own voice?
Yes. Voice cloning is part of the Studio product, so you can record a sample and generate scripts in your own voice. Dubbing and AI avatars are also available, and they use credits faster than standard voiceover.
Are the reader app and Studio the same subscription?
No. Premium for the reader app (listening to PDFs, books and web pages) and the Studio plans for voiceovers are separate subscriptions, so paying for one does not include the other.
