Speak4Me is a text to speech app that does two things: it reads aloud anything you want to listen to, and it speaks out loud anything you type. Listen to PDFs, documents, books, web articles and photos of printed pages – or type a message and let Speak4Me say it for you, in 120+ natural AI voices. LISTEN: READ ALOUD ANYTHING • PDF to audio – Import any PDF from Files or iCloud Drive and listen to it like an audiobook. Headers and footers are skipped automatically, so you only hear the content. • Documents and books – Turn long documents, book chapters, study notes and reports into audio. Follow along with real-time text highlighting. • Web articles – Listen to articles, blog posts and newsletters instead of reading them on screen. • Scan and listen – Take a photo of a printed page, a book, a letter or a menu, and Speak4Me reads the text out loud. • Listen anywhere – Keep listening while you commute, walk, work out or cook. Speed up the voice to get through your reading list faster. SPEAK: TYPE TO SPEAK • Type and Speak4Me talks for you – Write what you want to say and it is spoken out loud instantly, in the voice and language you choose. • A voice when you need one – Made for people who have lost their voice, have a speech disability, are recovering from a stroke, or find it hard to speak in some moments.

Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: Speak4Me Text to Speech Reader at 4.5 against Music Player Text Editor's 4.0. Speak4Me Text to Speech Reader also leads on ads (none vs shown) and update cadence (fortnightly vs every 16 months). Music Player Text Editor's advantage is review sentiment (60% vs 46%) and monetization model (ad-supported vs freemium). On price, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
Scored on Price · Rating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings · Update frequency · Ads · In-app purchases · Monetization · Best chart rank · Devices · Requires iOS
Both are free to download. Music Player Text Editor sells 1 one-off in-app purchase and Speak4Me Text to Speech Reader sells 8 in-app purchases, starting at $4.99 per 7 days. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
Speak4Me Text to Speech Reader holds the better App Store score, 4.5 against 4.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Speak4Me Text to Speech Reader has 14K ratings behind it against 4, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 60% of Music Player Text Editor's written reviews are positive against 46% of Speak4Me Text to Speech Reader's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Music Player Text Editor ships an update every 16 months, Speak4Me Text to Speech Reader fortnightly. The most recent releases landed on November 1, 2026 and November 10, 2026 respectively.
