What they are

Udio

Udio is an AI music generation tool that produces complete songs, including vocals and instrumentation, from a text description. It is used by content creators, podcasters, indie game developers, and musicians looking for quick backing tracks or original compositions. The output quality is impressive for AI-generated audio, though the tool gives you limited fine-grained control over individual stems or arrangement details.

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.
