""Over a billion people on this planet use Windows. With this Windows launch, we're making sure that reading, and now writing, is never a barrier, no matter what device you use or how you prefer to work.""
""The app has three models running on-device: neural text-to-speech, real-time voice activity detection, and Whisper-powered transcription. Users can configure the app to switch to cloud-based models or even change them during usage.""
""The company, which has over 50 million users, said that VITS Neural can generate audio across seven different speed presets, allowing users to have the app read aloud documents or web pages.""
Speechify has introduced a native Windows app that utilizes locally stored models for dictation and reading aloud articles, documents, or PDFs. The app operates entirely on-device for compatible PCs, featuring three models: neural text-to-speech, real-time voice activity detection, and Whisper-powered transcription. Users can switch between on-device and cloud-based models. With over 50 million users, Speechify aims to eliminate barriers to reading and writing, especially in enterprise settings. The company plans to expand its features, including meeting transcription, across its platforms.
