What is Speechify?

What it is

Speechify started as a text-to-speech reading app that reads documents, web pages and books aloud on phone, desktop and browser. Its creator product, Speechify Studio, is a separate subscription for making voiceovers, cloning voices, dubbing video and generating avatar videos. A developer TTS API is sold separately again.

Key features

Reader apps for iOS, Android, Chrome and desktop that read any text aloud
Studio voiceover editor with 1,000+ voices
Voice cloning, voice changer and a dubbing studio
Avatar and stock media (music, video, images) inside Studio
Studio credits used across voiceovers, dubbing, avatars and cloning (1 credit is about 1 second of voice)
Text-to-speech API with its own pricing page

Models inside

Speechify uses its own voice models (SpeechifyAI) and doesn't document third-party model choice.

Pricing and rights

Speechify's pricing pages block automated reading, so these figures couldn't be confirmed directly as of September 2026. The reader app has a free tier and a Premium subscription (widely reported at $29/month or $139/year). Studio has a free tier plus paid Starter and Creator plans. Speechify's own blog lists Starter at 86,400 Studio credits and Creator at 345,600, with third-party reviews citing about $19 and $49 per user a month. Speechify says Studio users own the audio they make and keep commercial rights in perpetuity. Check the live page before you buy.

Who it is for

Students and professionals who want documents read aloud (the reader), and marketers or course creators who want an all-in-one voiceover and dubbing studio (Studio).

Verdict

The Speechify reader is a polished listening app, and Studio bundles voiceover, cloning, dubbing and avatars in one place. Three separate products and pricing that is hard to verify make it confusing to buy. Credit costs for dubbing and avatars add up, so compare against dedicated voice tools before you commit.
