Hi Jake,

Didn't know Talkify but Talkify seems to rely on a backend.
Because not all our users have access to Internet (or even to a server), my
preference is to use JavaScript libraries that could work offline.
It's why Speak is better thought its quality is worse than Talkify.

Regards.

                   Lionel.
