Frequently asked questions
Cancel Speechify: Step-by-Step Guide
How to cancel Speechify in malaysia: your complete legal guide and step-by-step procedure
What is Speechify and why malaysian users struggle with cancellation
Speechify is a text-to-speech subscription service that converts documents, web pages, PDFs, and other written content into audio playback. Unlike a one-time app purchase, you pay a recurring monthly or annual fee to access its features, which means auto-renewal and billing cycles are the real issues for Malaysian subscribers.
How Speechify works as a subscription service
When you sign up, you choose a paid tier. The most popular is Premium at USD 29.00 per month, which converts to approximately RM137 based on current exchange rates. Premium unlocks over 1,000 voices, support for 60+ languages, and playback speeds up to 5x, making it attractive to students, working adults, and accessibility users. Speechify also offers Studio plans: Studio Starter at USD 19.00 (RM90) monthly for creators with basic voice features, and Studio Creator at USD 49.00 (RM231) monthly with voice cloning and media assets.
Your subscription renews automatically unless you cancel before the renewal date. This auto-renewal model is the source of most complaints from Malaysian users, because charges often occur without a fresh payment prompt, and the USD-to-MYR conversion plus foreign transaction fees can inflate the final card charge beyond the published USD price.
The billing channels that complicate cancellation
Speechify operates across multiple billing routes. You may have signed up directly through app.speechify.com, or via the Apple App Store on iPhone or iPad, or via Google Play on Android devices. Each channel handles billing independently, which is why cancelling on the Speechify website does not stop charges if you subscribed through an app store. Conversely, if you signed up through Apple or Google, you must cancel through that store, not through Speechify's own platform.
Speechify's support team operates by email at [email protected] and through a help centre on its website. There is no advertised phone line or live chat, so response times can be slower during billing disputes or when you need urgent clarification on charges.
Your consumer rights under malaysian law
Your right to cancel a subscription and seek refunds is grounded in the Consumer Protection Act 1999, which gives you statutory protections when purchasing goods and services in Malaysia.
The consumer protection act 1999 and your cancellation rights
Under the Consumer Protection Act 1999, any supplier of goods or services must disclose the material terms of the contract, including the price, billing frequency, and renewal terms before you agree to pay. If Speechify failed to make the auto-renewal terms clear at the point of signup, or if your charges did not match the advertised price due to unexplained fees, you may have grounds to dispute the charges or request a refund.
The Act also grants you a 7-day cooling-off period from the date of purchase. During this window, you can cancel the subscription without penalty if Speechify was sold at a distance (which it is, being an online service). This 7-day period is your safety net if you change your mind shortly after signup or realise the service does not meet your needs.
Your legal position in a cancellation dispute
Your legal position: If Speechify charges you after you have cancelled, or if the company refuses to process a cancellation within a reasonable timeframe, you can lodge a complaint with the Ministry of Domestic Trade and Consumer Affairs (MDTCA). This federal authority investigates unfair contract terms, misleading billing practices, and failure to honour cancellation requests. You can also dispute the charge through your bank or card issuer, which typically has a 120-day window to investigate. Yafee recommends documenting every step of your cancellation attempt, including screenshots, emails, and confirmation messages, because evidence is critical if the dispute escalates.
Pricing breakdown and plan comparison
Understanding what you pay each month helps you decide whether the service justifies its cost, and clarifies the exact amount you will stop paying once cancellation takes effect.
| Plan | Monthly cost (USD) | Monthly cost (MYR) | Key features | Best for |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Free | USD 0 | RM 0 | Limited voices, lower speed | Casual users trying the service |
| Premium | USD 29 | RM 137 | 1000+ voices, 60+ languages, 5x speed | Students and professionals |
| Studio Starter | USD 19 | RM 90 | Voice generation, basic credits | Emerging content creators |
| Studio Creator | USD 49 | RM 231 | Voice cloning, media library, advanced credits | Professional content creators |
| Annual Premium | USD 290 (billed once yearly) | RM 1,370 | Same as Premium, billed annually | Long-term users seeking a discount |
Exchange rates fluctuate, so the MYR equivalent shown is approximate using 1 USD = 4.72 MYR. Your actual card charge may vary if your bank applies a foreign transaction fee, typically 1-3% on top of the converted amount.
Step-by-step procedure to cancel Speechify based on your billing channel
Cancellation method depends on where you signed up. Follow the exact steps for your billing channel to ensure the subscription stops and no further charges occur.
Cancel if you signed up on the Speechify website (app.speechify.com)
- Open your web browser and visit app.speechify.com.
- Log in with the email address and password you used at signup.
- If you forgot your password, click "Forgot password" and reset it via email.
- Navigate to your Account Settings or Billing section (usually in the top-right menu or under "Profile").
- Locate the Subscription or Manage Subscription option.
- Click the Cancel Subscription button.
- Speechify may ask why you are cancelling; fill this in or skip if optional.
- You may see an offer to pause the subscription instead; select cancel unless you intend to resume later.
- Confirm the cancellation when prompted. A confirmation message should appear on screen.
- Screenshot this confirmation immediately for your records.
- Check your email (the address linked to your Speechify account) for a cancellation confirmation email within a few minutes.
- Save this email as proof of cancellation.
- Verify in your Account Settings that the subscription status now shows Inactive, Cancelled, or no active plan listed.

- Tap your Profile icon in the bottom-right corner.
- Select Subscriptions.
- Find Speechify in the list of active subscriptions.
- Tap Speechify to open its subscription details.

Refund policy and how to claim a refund
Refunds are handled differently depending on your billing channel and how long ago you were charged.
Refunds within the 7-day cooling-off period
Under the Consumer Protection Act 1999, you have 7 calendar days from your purchase date to cancel a distance contract and request a full refund. If you signed up fewer than 7 days ago and want to cancel, Speechify must refund the full amount you paid. Email [email protected] with your account details and cancellation request, and explicitly state that you are exercising your cooling-off right. Keep a copy of this email.
Refunds after the 7-day window
Speechify's standard policy does not grant refunds for subscriptions active beyond 7 days. However, if you were charged twice in one billing cycle, or if the charge amount was incorrect or unexplained, you have grounds to request a refund of the erroneous charge. Yafee advises emailing [email protected] with details of the duplicate or incorrect charge, a screenshot of your card statement, and your account ID. Response times are typically 5-10 business days.
Disputing charges through your bank
If Speechify does not respond to your refund request within 14 days, or if you were charged after cancelling, contact your bank or card issuer and request a chargeback or dispute. Provide the bank with proof of your cancellation (screenshots, emails) and the date and amount of the disputed charge. Most Malaysian banks process disputes within 30-60 days. This route is your fallback if Speechify fails to resolve the issue directly.
What happens after you cancel Speechify
Cancellation and access are separate timelines, so understand exactly when your service stops working.
Your access timeline after cancellation
When you cancel a Speechify subscription:
- If you cancelled before your renewal date, you retain access until the end of the current billing period at no extra charge.
- If you cancel on the renewal date itself, access may stop immediately or at the end of that day, depending on Speechify's system; check your account settings for the exact "Expiry" or "Access until" date.
- No further charges occur after cancellation, provided the cancellation was confirmed in writing (email or on-screen confirmation).
- Any content you created in the Studio plans (voice clips, projects) may become inaccessible once your subscription ends; download or export any files you need before the expiry date.
If you still see a charge after cancellation
If your card is charged again after you cancelled, this is a billing error. Immediately email [email protected] with the charge date, amount, and your cancellation confirmation details. Request a refund of the erroneous charge and ask Speechify to confirm in writing that the subscription will not be charged again. If the charge came from Apple or Google, contact their support team (Apple: appleid.apple.com/account; Google: support.google.com/googleplay) and explain the issue. Both companies can reverse charges within 30 days if you prove you cancelled the subscription.
Common mistakes that delay cancellation or refunds
Many users cancel successfully but then encounter delays or complications. Avoid these pitfalls to ensure a clean exit.
Cancelling on the wrong billing channel
The single most common error is cancelling on Speechify's website when you actually subscribed through Apple or Google, or vice versa. This leaves the app store subscription active, so your card is still charged monthly even though the Speechify website shows no active plan. Always check your card statement or subscription history to confirm which service billed you. If unsure, Yafee recommends checking your email for the original receipt or confirmation: it will state "Speechify," "App Store," or "Google Play" in the subject line or sender address.
Not saving proof of cancellation
Cancellation confirmations can vanish from your inbox or app, and Speechify's account pages may not display a clear "cancelled" status for long. Take screenshots of the cancellation confirmation screen immediately, save the confirmation email, and jot down the date and time. If a dispute arises weeks later, these records prove you cancelled on a specific date and will be your evidence in any bank chargeback or complaint to the Ministry of Domestic Trade and Consumer Affairs.
Cancelling but not checking for confirmation
Some users click "Cancel" but assume success without waiting for the confirmation page or email. Speechify's system sometimes gets stuck or requires you to confirm a second time. Always wait for a confirmation message on screen and a follow-up email before you consider the cancellation complete. If you do not receive an email within 10 minutes, cancel again or email [email protected] to verify the status.
Ignoring the final access date
Cancellation does not end access immediately; you keep the service until the end of your paid period. If you cancel on day 5 of a 30-day cycle, you have 25 days of access left. Many users wrongly believe they lose access instantly and panic. Check your account for the "Expires on" or "Last day of access" date to plan accordingly.
Next steps: check your cancellation status and document everything
Once you have submitted a cancellation request, take these final steps to confirm the process is complete.
Verification checklist after cancellation
| Task | Action | Why it matters |
|---|---|---|
| Account status check | Log in to your account and confirm the subscription shows as Cancelled or Inactive | Proof that the system processed your request |
| Confirmation email saved | Check your inbox and spam folder; download the email or take a screenshot | Evidence for disputes or refund claims |
| Cancellation date noted | Write down the exact date you cancelled and the expiry or final access date | Reference for monitoring future charges |
| Card statement reviewed | Check your next bank statement (2-5 days after cancellation) for any post-cancellation charges | Early detection of billing errors |
| Content export (if applicable) | Download or export any audio files or projects you created before the access date ends | Preserves your work after subscription ends |
| Support contact saved | Keep the email address [email protected] and your cancellation confirmation reference number | Quick access if you need to escalate a billing dispute |
When to escalate to the ministry of domestic trade and consumer affairs
If Speechify refuses to cancel, continues to charge after cancellation, or does not respond to your refund request within 14 days, you have the right to lodge a formal complaint with Malaysia's consumer protection regulator.
Filing a complaint with the MDTCA
The Ministry of Domestic Trade and Consumer Affairs investigates unfair billing practices, misleading terms, and failure to honour cancellation requests. You can file a complaint online at www.mdtca.gov.my or visit an office in your state. Provide the MDTCA with:
- Your Speechify account email and customer ID.
- Dates of all charges and cancellation attempts.
- Screenshots of your account, cancellation confirmation, and card charges.
- Copies of all emails to and from Speechify's support team.
- A clear description of the issue (e.g., "I cancelled on 15 January but was charged on 15 February despite cancellation confirmation").
The MDTCA typically investigates within 30-60 days and can order Speechify to issue a refund or reverse charges if it finds a breach of the Consumer Protection Act 1999. This is a free service and carries real enforcement weight, so use it if the company does not resolve the issue privately.
