With over 50 million users relying on Speechify's innovative text-to-speech technology, we transform the way people consume information—whether it's PDFs, books, Google Docs, news articles, or websites—by converting text into audio. This empowers users to read faster, absorb more, and retain information better. Our suite of products includes an iOS app, Android app, Mac app, Chrome extension, and web app. Recently, Speechify was recognized as the Chrome Extension of the Year by Google and received the esteemed 2025 Design Award for Inclusivity from Apple.
Currently, our team of nearly 200 talented individuals spans the globe, operating in a fully remote environment with no physical office. Our diverse team includes frontend and backend engineers, AI research scientists, and industry experts from leading organizations such as Amazon, Microsoft, and Google, along with alumni from prestigious PhD programs like Stanford and high-growth startups like Stripe and Vercel.
