THIS IS SCAM!!! This is scam and fraud. I cancelled the free three day trial subscription right after I started it. I wrote a message to the customer service and asked for a confirmation that I would not have to pay anything and they said that I would not get charged any money. Then Speechify stole more than 100$ from my account and they don‘t answer my mails. DO NOT BUY THIS SH!T

Predatory subscription model and endless bugs The premium service (especially the mobile app) is extremely buggy and not worth the price, in my opinion. Not offering monthly memberships is extremely predatory. We all know subscription services make most of their money from people forgetting to cancel free trials, but most companies have the decency to only charge you for the month. 100$+ is a hell of a price to pay for forgetting to cancel. Now onto the technical issues. The voices themselves are great, but I frequently have to refresh the page because the audio starts cutting out and skipping over whole paragraphs. The “highlight text” feature is great until you touch literally anything on the screen, then it freaks out and you have to toggle it on and off again to get it working. Importing texts via link has never worked a single time for me, I’ve always had to upload pdfs. The options to “skip citations” never works correctly either so I always find I have to edit the pdf manually myself which takes several minutes and makes the “time saving” facet of this service completely moot for me. The mobile app is so buggy it’s honestly not even worth having, in my experience. There are other issues but I feel like I’ve made my point. The fact you cannot get monthly memberships sucks the most for me. I only need the service during the months I have school, so paying a yearly membership (other than being extremely predatory and shady to begin with), is very inconvenient for me. Lastly, the last time I contacted customer service I had to wait 5 days before I received an answer, which was endlessly frustrating because I was cramming for my finals and needed my problem solved way earlier.

Try this as it works Well, I 1st started using this service over a year ago due to the fact that I have a severe learning disability and have an inability to concentrate for long periods of time. Though it I is easier to listen to others I must say listening to Snoop Dogg reading my Pre-Med educational materials is extremely soothing, and I am able to consume the materials with ease, and almalgomate them into written pieces of work much easier. I highly recommend this product and would hope you will at least try for a month, as at the very least you can circumvent most other services if you already have access to the reading materials. 110% amazing thank you so much.

It's not terrible but I'm giving it two… It's not terrible but I'm giving it two stars because I think its super shady that if you don't delete the free trial within three days, it charges a full year membership of 150 dollars. I didn't fall for it- but I'm sure lots of people do. It was no good for me anyway because it can't read academic papers with two columns on the page (which is almost all journal).
