Quick summary
Speechy is a free iPhone application created by Arthur Eduardo Skaetta Alvarez Desenvolvimento de Software LTDA., listed under Business & Productivity. It converts written content into spoken audio, letting you listen to articles, documents, or on-screen text.
Main capabilities
- Runs without an internet connection, so audio is generated locally on your device.
- Lets you export spoken output as audio files for sharing or later listening.
- Can extract and read text captured from images.
- Accepts text from a variety of sources for easy import.
- Uses modern AI-driven speech synthesis to produce natural-sounding narration.
- Offers a large selection of voices across many languages (50+ voices in roughly 36 languages).
Privacy and offline processing
Because Speechy supports offline operation, your text does not need to be uploaded to external servers. Local processing helps keep sensitive material on your device and reduces exposure to third-party services.
How it can improve your workflow
Speechy is useful when you want to consume content hands-free—during commutes, while exercising, or whenever you’d like to rest your eyes. Turning written material into audio can save time and make multitasking easier, helping you stay productive.
Getting started
- Download Speechy from the App Store on your iPhone.
- Import or paste the text you want read aloud, or capture text from an image.
- Choose a voice and either play it immediately or export the audio file.
