Text-to-speech application for accessibility
Speechify provides a text-to-speech application that helps users access information audibly. It is designed for a diverse audience, including students, professionals, and individuals with learning differences like dyslexia and ADHD. The application works by converting written text into spoken words, allowing users to listen to content through various platforms, including a Google Chrome extension, web app, and mobile apps for iOS and Android. This accessibility feature is particularly beneficial for those who prefer auditory learning or have difficulty reading. Unlike many competitors, Speechify offers a freemium model, where basic features are free, and advanced options are available through a subscription. 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.
