Works as described, very happy with service.

1. Works well but way too pricey. And making the month-to-month option exorbitantly expensive to incentivize an annual purchase is just manipulative and annoying. Tbh, I'm not even sure that drives higher overall revenue bc you miss out on a lot of m-to-m subs that way. 2. Intonation definitely also needs work. Don't get me wrong—it's prob the best option out there—but in a paragraph describing team performance, it read "We hit our quota. Thanks to you!" in the same monotone voice as it read the performance metrics. Things like that can throw one off and make it harder to separate out key info from the less important. As an enhancement, it would be cool if Speechify could 'pre-read' the content to better understand the context, to improve delivery. 3. The timing of pauses and breaks can also be improved. I listen on 1.5x speed and sometimes I feel like the pauses (sentences, commas, sections) are too short. Makes it sound like run-on sentences. Other than that, and PRICE, I love it.

I simply can't do my work without speechify. As a grant writer, I have to read, process, and consolidate vast amounts of information and quickly. To do this quickly, listening while reading increases my retention by at least 50% making my work fast and efficient. But the real help was after I had a concussion from being hit by a car. Speechify actually helped my brain heal by allowing me to just listen until I could track words without headaches. Without the richness of literary works my life would have bleak. Thank you Speechify, you made a difference that probably saved my ability to work.
