What is Speechify Studio?
Speechify Studio is Speechify’s tool for creating voiceovers. It’s separate from the well-known Speechify reader app, which reads articles and documents aloud for you.
In Studio, you can create voiceovers with a large voice library, clone your voice, dub videos into other languages and change your voice on recordings. Paid plans include stock music, images and video.
It runs on credits: 1 credit equals 1 second of voiceover, while dubbing uses 3 credits a second. Annual billing makes it one of the cheapest commercial voice tools.
Key features
- Voiceover Studio: create voiceovers with a large library of realistic voices.
- Voice cloning: clone your own voice on paid plans.
- Dubbing Studio: translate and re-voice videos.
- Voice changer: change the voice on your own recordings.
- Stock media: music, images, video and sound effects on paid plans.
- Commercial rights: included on paid plans.

| Plan | Price | Good for |

Which plan should you pick? Test on Free, then choose Studio Starter on annual billing: it’s far cheaper than paying monthly. Choose Studio Creator if you dub videos often, since dubbing uses credits three times as fast.
Speechify Studio free plan: what you get

|---|---|
| Credits | 600 (about 10 minutes of voiceover) |
| Voice cloning | Paid plans only |
| Commercial use | Paid plans only |

The catch: The free credits only cover about 10 minutes of voiceover, and you can’t use free audio commercially. Also, the Speechify reader subscription doesn’t include Studio.
Who is Speechify Studio for?
- Content creators: voice YouTube and social videos.
- Marketers: create ads and explainers in several languages.
- Educators: narrate lessons and courses.

Consider something else if you only want to listen to articles and documents, which is Speechify’s reader app, not Studio.
