Our mission is to ensure that reading is never a barrier to learning, and we achieve this by transforming digital and physical text from PDFs, books, documents, articles, and websites into high-quality, natural-sounding audio. This innovation allows users to read faster, retain more information, and access content on the go, effectively turning any reading material into an audiobook. Speechify was born out of a personal need; our founder, Cliff Weitzman, developed the initial technology to overcome his own challenges with dyslexia. This origin story is deeply embedded in our company ethos, driving our commitment to accessibility and empowering users with diverse learning needs, including those with dyslexia, ADHD, and visual impairments.

Our technological advancements extend beyond basic text-to-speech. Speechify leverages sophisticated AI to offer a suite of features including over 200+ human-like voices in more than 60 languages, customizable reading speeds up to 4.5 times faster than visual reading, and optical character recognition (OCR) for scanning and listening to physical documents and images.
