What they are
Loom
Loom is a video messaging tool that lets creators, teams, and educators record their screen, camera, or both and instantly share a link. It is widely used for async communication, product walkthroughs, and feedback on creative work. The free tier is genuinely usable, though video length limits and storage caps push most active users toward a paid plan fairly quickly.
Speechify
Speechify converts text from PDFs, articles, emails, Google Docs, and ebooks into spoken audio using AI-generated voices. It is used by students, professionals, and people with dyslexia or reading difficulties who want to consume written content faster or more comfortably. The voice quality is genuinely good at normal speeds, but at very high playback rates naturalness degrades noticeably. The free tier is limited to one standard voice and a capped speed.
