Impairments
For those with visual impairments or visual processing difficulties, Speechify provides a stress-free auditory alternative to dense text, supporting longer listening sessions with customisable voices.

FAQ
Yes, Speechify has been approved by the SLC as assistive technology and can be recommended as part of a DSA package during a needs assessment.
The Disabled Students' Allowance provides support to help you excel in higher education by addressing challenges you might face, whether they relate to academic studies, physical accessibility, or overall well-being.
Although it's called an 'allowance', you won't receive money directly. Instead, when you are awarded DSA, you can arrange support through approved providers (based on your location) who receive funding directly from your student finance body.
Eligibility
You may be eligible for DSA if you have:
- A disability
- A mental health condition
- A neurodivergent condition
- A chronic illness
- A learning difference
If you're unsure about your eligibility, please visit the government's eligibility criteria.
