This article explains how to use the Scan Book Cover feature in the Speechify iOS app to scan physical books, convert text into audio, and save content to your Library for listening.

Written by Lovella

Open the Speechify app on your iPhone:

  1. Tap the “+” (Add) button at the bottom of the screen

  2. Tap the Camera 📷 icon -- 'Allow' Speechify to access your camera if prompted

  3. Take a photo of your book cover

  • If the book is available in Speechify’s library, you’ll see the book overview along with a “Read” button (see attached recording).

  • If the book is not available, you may need to:

    • Scan each page individually (click here on how to scan each page)

    • Or import a digital version of the book (such as an ePub or PDF) into the app for easier processing

Note: Some books in the Speechify Books Library may require separate licensing or purchase costs, similar to other audiobook platforms.
