About

Peech is a text-to-speech reader built for people who have more to read than time to read it. It converts books, articles, documents and web pages into spoken audio, and it analyzes the structure of each file before narrating so that headings, quotations, dialogue and foreign-language passages are handled appropriately rather than read as undifferentiated text.

The app accepts a wide range of inputs, including PDF, EPUB, DOCX, PPTX, TXT, emails, saved web pages, photos of printed text and scanned documents. Peech distinguishes content from "page furniture" — running headers, footers, page numbers and scan artifacts are skipped — and it recognizes tables, formulas, code and captions so they are narrated sensibly instead of spelled out character by character. It also imports saved chat threads from ChatGPT, Claude and Gemini. Peech is developed by Dopefin Limited and is available as an iOS app, an Android app, a web app and a Chrome extension.

Key Features

Content-aware narration: Peech announces headings with pauses, shifts quotations to a second voice, gives characters their own voices, and reads foreign-language lines in their actual language.
Smart document parsing: The tool separates body text from headers, footers, page numbers and scan artifacts, and it identifies formulas, tables, captions, code and charts so each is handled properly.
Broad file support: Users can import PDFs, EPUB, DOCX, PPTX, TXT files, emails, saved web pages, photos of printed text, pure scans, and previously purchased ebooks.
Genre-based narrator styles: Named narrators such as Sarah (ideas and essays), Rob (business and how-to), Simeon (reportage and true crime), Tyler (fantasy and adventure), Jessica (romance and literary fiction) and Umbriel (scripture and philosophy) match the material being read.
Mid-chapter narrator switching: Listeners can change the narrator partway through and keep their place in the text.
Accessibility support: A dyslexia-friendly font, sentence-by-sentence highlighting synchronized with the audio, and adjustable playback speed are provided together, a combination the company says readers with dyslexia and ADHD find effective.
Cross-platform availability: Peech runs as a web app, an iPhone and iPad app, an Android app and a Chrome extension.

Who It's For

Peech is aimed at readers who are short on time, including students and graduate students who listen to course materials while commuting, and professionals who prefer audio for business documents. It is also positioned for readers with dyslexia or ADHD, since it pairs synchronized highlighting, a dyslexia-friendly font and adjustable speed. Fiction listeners benefit from character-based voices, while writers use it to hear their own rough drafts read aloud with a full cast of character voices. Anyone with a backlog of ebooks, saved articles or long AI chat threads can convert them into listenable audio.
