Purpose: Peech is aimed at users who "have more to read than time to read it," converting books, articles, and documents into natural audio that fits the context of the content for users to listen to.
Main capabilities: According to official descriptions, Peech first understands the content it reads before reading it aloud. It can distinguish body text from packaging information, skipping headers, footers, page numbers, and scanning defects; it handles titles separately and leaves pauses; quotations and dialogue switch to a second voice, with different characters keeping their own voices; German sentences in English manuscripts are read in German. It can also recognize different content types such as formulas, tables, charts, and code and handle them separately, rather than reading them out word by word. It provides multiple reading styles and narrators, and voices can be switched mid-chapter while progress is preserved. For users with dyslexia and ADHD, it provides dyslexia-friendly fonts, sentence-by-sentence highlighting during reading, and customizable speed, and the official statement says only the combination of the three is effective.
Input formats: Supports PDF, EPUB, DOCX, PPTX, TXT, email, saved web pages, photos of printed text, and pure scans; it also supports purchased e-books, as well as long conversations in ChatGPT, Claude, and Gemini.
How to use: Official materials show that it is currently available as an iOS app and a Chrome extension; specific installation commands and operating steps are not yet provided.
Use cases: Listening to books, papers, reports, and long articles while commuting or doing other things; helping users with dyslexia or attention difficulties access content through listening.
Limitations: The official statement says it works with book publishers to provide audiobook voiceovers at a price 20%-100% cheaper than traditional production; however, specific pricing, subscription plans, complete support on each platform, accuracy, and other technical details are not yet provided. In terms of language, it supports over 50 languages, including English, French, German, Italian, Spanish, and more.
