About the Company

The mission of Speechify is to make sure that reading is never a barrier to learning. Over 50 million people use Speechify's text to speech products to turn whatever they're reading - PDFs, books, Google Docs, news articles, websites - into audio, so they can read faster, read more, and remember more. Speechify's text to speech reading products include its iOS app, Android App, Mac App, Chrome Extension, and Web App. Google recently named Speechify the Chrome Extension of the Year and Apple named Speechify its App of the Day. Speechify also provides a voice over, voice cloning, and dubbing studio for businesses and creators and a text to speech API for developers. Through its products, Speechify is the largest provide of Speech AI in the world. Cliff Weitzman founded Speechify to overcome his own dyslexia. Growing up, Cliff's dad would read him Harry Potter because he couldn't do it himself. Cliff's dad was his hero. But without reading, Cliff couldn't become the person he wanted to be. So, he learned to code and created Speechify to read books to himself. Today, nearly 200 people around the globe work on Speechify in a 100% distributed setting - Speechify has no office. These include frontend and backend engineers, AI research scientists, and others from Amazon, Microsoft, and Google, leading PhD programs like Stanford, high growth startups like Revolut, Stripe, and Bolt, and many founders of their own companies. Programming languages across Speechify include React, Typescript, NodeJS, Kotlin, Python, and Go. We'd love to meet you! Please apply here: https://job-boards.greenhouse.io/speechify.
