Frequently asked
Is SpeakIt really fully offline?
Yes. Reading text aloud, the voices, and your saved library all work on your device without an internet connection. A connection is only needed for optional extras like fetching an article from a web link or voice dictation in certain languages.
Is there a subscription?
No. SpeakIt is free to download and use. There's an optional one-time SpeakIt Pro upgrade that unlocks unlimited folders — it's a single purchase, never a recurring subscription.
How many voices and languages are there?
SpeakIt offers 180+ voices across 50+ languages, built on Apple's high-quality speech engine. Voices are grouped by language with flags, and Enhanced and Premium voices are clearly marked.
How do I get the most natural-sounding voices?
Higher-quality Enhanced and Premium voices are free to add from iOS Settings → Accessibility → Spoken Content → Voices. Once downloaded they appear in SpeakIt automatically. The app guides you through it in just a few steps.
What is Personal Voice support?
If you've created a Personal Voice in iOS (Settings → Accessibility → Personal Voice), SpeakIt can read your text in a voice that sounds like you. Personal Voice is created and stored by iOS on your own device.
Can SpeakIt read photos, PDFs and web pages?
Yes. You can scan printed pages with the camera, pull text out of a photo, import PDF, TXT and RTF files, paste from anywhere, dictate with your voice, or load an article from a web link.
What do I need to run it?
SpeakIt is an iPhone app that requires iOS 17 or later. On-device AI text generation requires a device that supports Apple Intelligence.
Does SpeakIt collect my data?
