The app also uses optical character recognition technology to turn physical books or printed text into audio.[4][5] The app lets users take photos of text and then listen to it read out loud.[6]
Speechify was founded by Cliff Weitzman, a dyslexic college student at Brown University[7][8] who built the first version of the tool himself to help him keep up with his class readings.
