User Reviews

Reviewers consistently praise Speaky for its ease of use and for turning web articles or news into listenable content on the go, with several noting years of reliable use. Recurring drawbacks center on pricing—updates shifting to a paid model and higher Pro prices—and on content-reading limits, where only a small portion of text is read from URLs or pasted text. Overall sentiment is positive on usability, tempered by pricing and reading limitations.
Pros
  • Easy to use with a simple, intuitive interface.
  • Great for consuming web articles and news on the go (including in the car).
  • Long-standing, reliable app used by many reviewers for years.
Cons
  • Pricing model changes: recent updates make it a paid app and Pro price has increased; subscriptions are a point of frustration.
  • Content-reading limits: sometimes only a small portion/paragraph of text is read from a URL or pasted text.
Recent reviews
If we want to support safe driving, Speaky should allow free and easy paste to read aloud (PTRA) capabilities that would allow a driver to select enough text for a 30 min commute to be easily read aloud on that commute. If the “I’m driving” feature is selected and the text starts before the commute (moving at driving speeds), then this would be a great improvement that promotes Speaky as well as safe, hands-free cell phone use while driving. You could even have a selection to block interruptions while driving & PTRA are ongoing. Deliberate control of social media is the best thing about internet & social media; please help make this possible by promoting safe driving & listening.

I’ve been using this for years but stopped recently when I noticed that, whenever I put a text into the editor, only a small paragraph plays. The app was wonderful but has become useless.
