Episode 45: The Speechify Review
🔗 Read the full article here: https://smartkeys.org/speechify-review/
In this episode of the SmartKeys podcast, we test a tool that promises to revolutionize how you consume information: Speechify.
Based on the review "Speechify Review: Voice Quality, Features, and Pricing" by Felix Römer, we analyze whether turning text into audio is a genuine productivity hack or just a novelty. We break down the user experience, the quality of the AI voices, and whether the $139 annual price tag is justified for the average professional.
In this episode, you will learn:
Listen to Anything: How the app converts PDFs, emails, and even photos of physical pages (via OCR) into audio you can listen to while commuting or cooking.
The Speed Limit: Analyzing the claim of "900 words per minute" listening speeds versus the realistic "sweet spot" of 200–500 WPM for comprehension.
Celebrity Voices: The feature that lets you have your emails read to you by AI versions of Snoop Dogg or Gwyneth Paltrow.
Productivity Tools: Using AI summaries to get the gist of a long document instantly before deciding to listen to the whole thing.
The Limitations: Critical drawbacks you need to know, such as MP3 export caps and occasional OCR errors on complex layouts.
Stop struggling through your reading list. Tune in to see if "listening" is the upgrade your workflow needs.
