Hi, I'm Cliff, founder of Speechify. I have Dyslexia. When I was a kid, I wanted my dad to be proud of me. But I couldn't read well. My dad started reading Harry Potter to me. I loved it. Without reading, I couldn't become who I wanted to be. So, I built Speechify to turn anything into an audiobook. Today, 30 million people use Speechify to read 3x faster, remember 2x more & reduce their stress. My mission is to be who I needed most when I was growing up. Much love ❤, Cliff

Over 250k people have given speechify 5 stars.

Speechify is absolutely brilliant. Growing up with dyslexia this would have made a big difference. I’m so glad to have it today.

This is the only review I’ve ever written. I downloaded this app to help me read books about the stock market and finance while I do my day job. It brough me to the brink of tears at my desk. Love the app.

I absolutely love that this app has been invented. I read a ton of pdf documents as a lawyer and researcher and I will now be able to get through them faster and with much better comprehension than before!

I was skeptical at first, however with my serious issue to be unable to focus reading extensive documentation for work, this program made it a breeze. Well worth the premium dollars! Love it.

Speechify makes it easy to learn at 2x or even 3x the speed you read with your eyes.

I used to hate school because I'd spend hours just trying to read the assignments. Listening has been totally life changing. This app saved my education.

This made my job 10x easier. I read scripts, conversations, and other text files all day, and this made it a lot easier to retain and wayyyyy faster. Thanks y’all!

I have always been a slow reader. As a professional, I have a lot of material to read through between industry emails, new rules and regulations, and continuing education. Speechify helps me power through it.

If there’s one hill I’m going to die on, it’s that speed listening is the best way forward. Speechify is a game-changer for me.

Mighty be one of the GOAT apps This is probably top 5 of greatest apps ever, you can literally read alone an entire book in a day. Easily worth the cost of the app.

Excellent for comprehending medical textbooks more quickly and thoroughly!! This is awesome for keeping up with latest surgical techniques and technology.

Amazing I have ADHD and I love to read but have piles of book that I have never touched. I downloaded this app and it has helped me read more and obtain information better for school! Love this app, I recommend it to everyone!

I am a resident and this app saves me a ton of time. I listen to PDF’s while walking to clinic, running, making coffee in the morning.

Miracle reader. Been looking for a program like this to proof read my work. Allows me to develop a personalized style of reading. Love it!
