Speechify Likes & Dislikes
- High-quality voice models - Broad range of models and accent support - Fast output - Simple editing and process flow - Speech is always accessible, clear - Supports accessibility options
- I like the natural high quality voices used for speech than the normal robot voices. - Wide range of features, which supports in various formats like PDF's, emails, webpages, docs and more. - Multi-platform support & syncing across devices - Accessibility - it can helps to create a playlist to listen instead of studying a whole PDF of stories or story like contents for a whole day.
It turns printed pages into audio, you speak and it transcribes your voice, has huge voItice options across many languages and accents, which is very useful.
- Take-away of human elements - Lack of emotion and ability to create more of 'speech' and free-flowing dialogue - Licensing and costs is misrepresentative of the output
- Higher pricing than average & the free tier limit. - Mispronunciation of some foreign words & some of free tier voices are still feels like artificial. - Billing related issues and complaints are faced by many users online and reported some serious billing issues and customer service related issues. - Some of the devices face glitches and missing lines or repeating reading the same line twice happens in some of older devices or the targeted OS versions are not up to the mark.
Mispronunciation and sometimes lack of listening ability for Asian languages, find difficult in technical terms and in complex formatting.

Speechify is powerful, but so is your voice!
AI Dubbing has quickly become quite prominent in internal and external workshops, particularly for training sessions and showing the 'art of the possible'. Speechify offers a compelling solution for accessible and engaging AI dubbing that captures everyone's ears, you can hear the noise in any room go up with the team, or client, mentioning how impressive the technology is. However, a conversation piece that comes alongside use of such technologies always regards why the technology is used. Nearly every employee of any organisation utilising the technology can create a voice-over of a demonstration, L&D/workshop day or introduction using their own voice. Whilst the typical argument against this is time, a lack of confidence and increased effort to rehearse a script, the use of technology can create an impersonal touch that contradicts B2B sales and partnerships. - SOFTWARE DEVELOPER<50M USDServices (non-Government)Review Source
