What each tool does
Speechify reads text out loud. Upload a PDF or open a web page and it plays the content in a natural voice, and it can summarise what you are reading. It adds voice typing and runs as a web app, browser extensions for Chrome and Edge, and apps for iOS, Android, Windows and Mac.
Udio creates music. Describe the kind of track you want and it generates a song you can listen to, refine and share. It also acts as a community where you can discover what others have made, and you can start creating for free.
