Speechify, the text-to-speech trailblazer, is making waves with a daring pivot to voice AI.
The company has unveiled new voice typing and conversational AI features in its Chrome extension, setting its sights on giants like ChatGPT and Google’s Gemini. This bold move marks Speechify's transition from a listening tool to a voice-first platform, aiming to redefine how we interact with the web.
The voice AI market is buzzing, and Speechify is diving headfirst into the fray. The new Chrome extension isn't just about listening anymore; it’s about talking back. With voice typing and an AI assistant nestled in your browser, Speechify wants to make voice the star, not just a supporting act. As voice recognition technology leaps forward, the company is betting that users will embrace speaking to their browsers as naturally as they type.

However, the journey isn't without bumps. Early tests show Speechify's accuracy lagging behind competitors like Wispr Flow and Willow. The tool shines in Google Docs but stumbles on platforms like WordPress. Speechify promises improvements, banking on its model learning from user interactions.
The real game-changer? Speechify’s conversational assistant, designed to simplify web content with voice commands. Yet, compatibility issues with browsers featuring built-in AI tools hint at the brewing browser wars.
Looking ahead, Speechify plans to develop autonomous agents for tasks like scheduling calls. By leveraging its audio expertise, the company hopes to outshine rivals in the voice AI space.
Speechify’s voice-first gamble could reshape productivity tools, but success hinges on overcoming technical hurdles and convincing users to embrace voice over text. Will they rise as a voice AI leader? Only time will tell!
