Speechify

Users can listen to content while multitasking, commuting, or studying.

It supports multiple languages and offers adjustable playback speeds, voice selection, and integration with browsers and document formats.
AI Recommendation
1 suggestionWe could not find definitive information about whether Speechify has shipped a native Apple Silicon build. The search results we gathered do not mention architecture support, and Speechify's website does not clearly state native arm64 availability. Contact Speechify directly at [email protected] or check their macOS app settings (Help → About) to see if your current version is running as a native build or under Rosetta. If you are running an Intel-only version, ask Speechify whether a native Apple Silicon build is available now or planned before macOS 28 removes Rosetta 2 in late 2027. Given that Speechify is an actively maintained, subscription-based product with regular updates, a native build may already exist or be in development — it is worth asking the vendor directly rather than waiting.
