Mission
The mission of Speechify is to make sure that reading is never a
barrier to learning.
Over 50 million people use Speechify’s text-to-speech products to
turn whatever they’re reading – PDFs, books, Google Docs, news
articles, websites – into audio, so they can read faster, read
more, and remember more. Speechify’s text-to-speech reading
products include its iOS app, Android App, Mac App, Chrome
Extension, and Web App. Google recently named Speechify the Chrome
Extension of the Year and Apple named Speechify its 2025 Design
Award winner for Inclusivity.
Today, nearly 200 people around the globe work on Speechify in a
100% distributed setting – Speechify has no office. These include
frontend and backend engineers, AI research scientists, and others
from Amazon, Microsoft, and Google, leading PhD programs like
Stanford, high growth startups like Stripe, Vercel, Bolt, and many
founders of their own companies.
