What they are

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.

TubeBuddy

TubeBuddy is a browser extension and dashboard that sits directly inside YouTube Studio, adding keyword research, A/B thumbnail testing, bulk processing tools, and SEO scoring to your workflow. It is used primarily by independent YouTubers and small channel teams who want data to guide upload decisions without hiring a dedicated analyst. The integration is tight and genuinely useful, though the most valuable features are locked behind paid tiers, and the free tier has been effectively removed.
