  • Utilize OpenAI APIs to power dynamic product tips and smart helpers.
  • Polish the user interface using Tailwind, focusing on clarity, speed, and brand consistency.

Experience & Skills:

  • 5+ years of experience with React, TypeScript, and Tailwind.
  • Excellent written English skills, with confidence in writing both copy and code.
  • Hands-on experience building onboarding flows, documentation, or growth loops.

Text-to-speech application for accessibility

About Speechify

Speechify provides a text-to-speech application that helps users access information audibly.

This approach, along with partnerships with platforms like Medium and the Star Tribune, helps expand its reach to over 20 million users worldwide. The goal of Speechify is to eliminate reading barriers, enabling users to learn and retain information more effectively.
