I've heavily used Speechify's mac app before for faster reading, here's my honest review. Pros: Speechify is very helpful for our current digital information age. In a world where we're bombarded with tons of articles that we want to read, I love how fast I can now get through them with Speechify. Cons: Definitely space for new & improved payment plans based on the user categories - would love to purchase new HD voices but not willing on going on a subscription plan to get them.

@kennybatista Thanks Kenny! Bonus, the chrome extension is free and comes with free HD voices!

Looking forward to the future of this application!

Pros:

Really useful, especially when I need to go through a document quickly and don't want to read it all. Convenient. Intuitive. Awesome idea.

Cons:

So far, I haven't found any. :)

Hell yea. Thank you Marco! What do you expect to mostly use this for? Why does this product make you happy? What is the main use case you expect? for what content and at what time of day for you?

Terrible. Avoid! No capacity to export audio files. So they rip you off - charging for translating the SAME text EVERY TIME YOU LISTEN to it. So your “premium” subscription gets you about 3 days of vocalized text - then the premium subscription uses the FREE iPhone software to create audio files. You have that WITHOUT BUYING Speechify. Buy a product that allows you to create and export audio, NOT Seechify.

Scam. Do not even sign up for the free trial! Before my free trial was even completed I was double-charged for an annual subscription. I disputed via PayPal but they refused my dispute (even with the obvious double charge!). I emailed the email PayPal listed as the account owner but never heard back. There is no way to contact support and my account does not even reflect that I paid for an annual subscription (which I didn't want, but at the very least it should show on my account). Do not even create an account with this company, they will take your money.
