Well worth the subscription. Eventually there will be a solution that provides buttery smooth AI voices for 0 subscription, but until that future time, Speechify is the place to efficiently read and listen to books. Hopefully they keep innovating such that they can justify the nonstop subscription price. I have personally enjoyed reading many books with them and probably will continue to do so solely to keep a track record of what I have read. Eventually their Subscription model gravy train should theoretically shrivel up due to advances in AI and competition, but for the last ~2 years I yet have found a free alternative that can execute as well for punctuation and comprehending pacing as Speechify. I can imagine The free model eventually being turned into what I presently have enjoyed given that they do in fact do lifetime licenses to people whom do referrals. After ~5-10 years people should be grandfathered into keeping the original premium features as free voices. 9.5/10

The only downside is not being able to remove citations fully in scholarly readings. Hearing Hall & Hall a million times can be distracting.
