Speechify is a mobile, chrome extension and desktop app that reads text aloud using a computer-generated text to speech voice. [1] [2] [3]
The app also uses optical character recognition technology to turn physical books or printed text into audio. [4] [5] The app lets users take photos of text and then listen to it read out loud. [6]
Speechify was founded by Cliff Weitzman, a dyslexic college student at Brown University [7] [8] who built the first version of the tool himself to help him keep up with his class readings.
