EchoLive vs Speechify
Speechify is a polished consumer reader app. EchoLive serves both listeners and creators, with a production studio, feeds inbox, AI search, and pro exports alongside the listening experience.
- EchoLive: full Studio editor with per-segment voices and SSML
- Speechify: polished mobile consumer reading experience
- EchoLive: RSS, newsletter, podcast, and YouTube feed support with OPML import
- EchoLive: podcast transcription & AI summaries
- EchoLive: production exports: MP3/WAV + AAF/ZIP bundles
- EchoLive: AI-powered semantic search across your library
- Both: natural-sounding neural voices for text-to-speech
Speechify's strength is consumer simplicity: install the extension, highlight text, and listen. It's designed for reading web pages and PDFs aloud with minimal friction.
EchoLive covers that same listening use case with Quick Read and Feeds, but goes much further. The Studio editor provides per-segment voice control, SSML tools, segmented waveforms, and batch editing, capabilities Speechify doesn't offer.
EchoLive's Feeds model supports mixed media: articles, podcasts, newsletters, and YouTube in one inbox with unified playback and generation. Speechify is focused on the content you're currently viewing.
If you need production-grade audio creation alongside listening, EchoLive gives you both in one platform, with exports (MP3/WAV/AAF bundles) that fit professional workflows.
