Better listener than reader? This app turns any text into an audiobook.
TL;DR: Create your own audiobooks with a one-year subscription to Speechify Audio Reader for $39.99, an 89% savings as of Aug 3.
Whether it’s because of our your lifestyle or an inability to focus, more people are listening and fewer people are reading. In 2020, 73 million Americans listen to at least one podcast every month, with 48 million listening once a week. Heck, 19% of listeners even increase the speed when listening, so they can get more information in less time. Crazy, right?
But there’s no lack of text out there. We’ve just decided we’d rather listen instead. But what if you could turn any text you wanted into an audiobook? That way, you could retain more information and save tons of time while actually reading all the books, articles, reports, and other text you’ve been meaning to. That’s what the Speechify Audio Reader app sets out to do, and for a limited time, you can get a one-year subscription at a big discount.
This app reads practically anything to you by generating human-like voices using AI technology. It can read books, documents, and articles out loud while you cook, work out, commute, or wait in line at the grocery store, ultimately saving you time, boosting your productivity, and enhancing your retention. You can upload documents, scan books, import PDFs, download from Google Drive or iCloud, and more to add your text to Speechify. Then just go about your day as you listen.
Here’s a sneak peek from the creator himself:
Speechify is great for employees working through a stack of boring memos or reports, parents looking to keep up with their child’s reading, students forced to read the world’s most boring books, or anyone hoping to finally make it through the stack of books on their nightstand.
Sign up for one full year of Speechify Audio Reader for just $39.99, which is 89% off its usual cost.
