Speechify
Read-aloud app for documents and web pages with a handful of Arabic voices
Visit website →About
Speechify is a reading app rather than a production tool: it reads PDFs, web pages, emails and scanned text aloud on phone, browser and desktop at adjustable speed, with premium voices on paid plans. A separate Studio product and an API exist for voice-overs.
Arabic is one of the sixty-plus languages the premium tier advertises. The company's own 2022 Arabic article promised five Arabic voices and no dialect choice; we found no newer page labelling any voice Saudi, Gulf or Egyptian, and its dedicated Arabic page was unavailable when we checked. Nothing we read addresses diacritics, numerals, mixed-language text or where audio is generated. Treat it as a way to listen to Arabic documents, not as a source of a Saudi-sounding voice.
Pricing in November 2026: a free tier with basic voices; Premium at $29 a month or $139 a year, as shown on a pricing page updated in March 2026; Studio and API priced separately.

Why we picked it
Speechify is the text-to-speech name Arabic users most often search for, because of its consumer marketing, and the one with the thinnest Arabic documentation in our guide. Listing it with that honest gap saves readers from expecting a Saudi voice where the vendor itself promises only generic Arabic.
