Speechify generally reads open-access files or webpages - meaning files or webpages that aren't password protected or behind a login.

There are other several factors why it won't read files- i.e. file format, file size, device issues, memory, internet connection, own text-to-speech system, website firewall and etc.

For some reason, if Speechify is unable to start reading on your webpage using the 'Listen' button, try to start the player using the 'Highlight and Play' feature.

Right-click on the section you want the app to read and select 'Read Selection' (Option + Q on Mac and Alt + Q on Windows)

  • If it is still not being read, click on 'Still not working? Report Site'

A new feature we have is 'Listen with Screenshot' will also help if it doesn't automatically read the page.

Below is another way to pull up the 'Listen with Screenshot' feature from the pill player.

Here's a video on how to use the 'Listen with Screenshot' feature.
