Reads PDFs, email and web pages at up to nine times speed — the product was built for dyslexia, not for podcasts

About the company
Speechify was founded by Cliff Weitzman, who has dyslexia and built the first version for himself while at Brown. That explains the product: it is not about polished dubbing but about reading two hundred PDF pages aloud at speed without losing the thread. It lives as a browser extension and a phone app rather than a studio. The gap between monthly and annual billing is one of the widest in this catalogue — nearly threefold — which makes the monthly rate effectively a deterrent.
