Does Speechify use AI?
Speechify ships AI-driven features, so it falls inside the scope of the EU AI Act's transparency rules. That does not automatically make you non-compliant — it means there is a disclosure obligation to check and, if it applies, to satisfy.
Which EU AI Act obligation applies?
Article 50(2) requires that AI-generated or AI-manipulated content be marked as artificial in a machine-readable format.
Your likely obligation: Disclose AI-generated or cloned voice as synthetic (Art.50(2)); disclose AI interaction if conversational (Art.50(1)).
Typical role under the Act: deployer. Providers build and place the system on the market; deployers use it under their own authority — your obligations differ accordingly.
What's the risk?
Synthetic voice without disclosure can breach Art.50; voice cloning carries extra consent/IP risk.
How to prove compliance
Keep an inventory entry for Speechify, record where it is used, capture the disclosure you show end-users, and date it. That auditable trail is what answers a "prove you comply" request in procurement or from a regulator.
