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.
