Thanks for this, this is a topic I am very interested in—to the the killer feature missing in Speechify is the ability to highlight and sync those highlights. Or more broadly, annotating in a multimodal way is difficult.
I instead use Goodreader, where you can have e.g. a Dropbox folder of all your PDFs synced across desktop and mobile; and you can annotate those PDFs while listening, then sync to Dropbox.
The downside of Goodreader is that the voice is pretty bad, and also that you can’t reflow the text to make it easier to read on mobile while in audio mode.
PS: The Readwise Reader app seems to be working towards an excellent all-in-one reader with TTS capability, but the existing version I’ve found to be a little too slow / some other issues. But it’s still in development and seems very promising.
