About Speechify
Speechify helps people access information by making it as simple as listening. Users can absorb web articles, cloud documents, and books on their devices, enjoying a smooth listening experience at their own pace. Our tools aim to make learning faster and more effective.
We are growing quickly and leading our category, much like streaming services changed audio entertainment. Now, we are expanding our team in Dublin, Ireland.
