Verdict
The clearest difference is price: Speech at Free against PDF Voice Reader's $4.99. Speech also leads on rating (3.7 vs 1.0) and update cadence (every 2 months vs every 27 months). PDF Voice Reader's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 4) and ads (none vs shown). On device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
