Natural Reader has become an indispensable tool for me, both in school and at work. It’s one of those apps that seamlessly fits into my routine, and now I rely on it daily. What makes Natural Reader stand out for me is how it allows me to read along as it reads my school studies and work reports out loud. This dual approach—both seeing and hearing the information—gives my brain two ways to process the material, which has been incredibly helpful in keeping me focused. I’m someone who easily gets distracted, but with Natural Reader, I find it much easier to stay on track without my mind wandering off. In school, this has meant better retention and comprehension of the material. I can listen to my textbooks or articles while following along with the text, which keeps me engaged and less prone to getting “squirreled” by distractions. The ability to adjust the voice and speed makes it even more effective for my learning style. At work, it’s just as effective. My job often requires me to go through a lot of detailed reports and documents. By reading along with Natural Reader, I can absorb the information more thoroughly, without the usual fatigue that comes from reading long texts. This has made me more efficient and confident in handling my responsibilities. Overall, Natural Reader has significantly improved how I manage both my studies and my work. It’s a tool I’d highly recommend to anyone who needs a little extra help staying focused and getting the most out of their reading.
It’s very expensive, but it worth it.

The AI voices made it worth it. It’s nice to not feel constrained. By time or by words. Also this review was compulsory but I thought owed it to the buyers of the App Store. If you plan on getting The best and you can find that it is a double subscription. I believe I had to pay for one level and then I had to pay for the next tear however, I recommend you don’t do it unless you’re prepared to do both because quite frankly the first isn’t really worth it unless you get the AI enable voices in my humble opinion I’m still giving it five stars. I just don’t believe in reviewing something based on the price I believe on facing something purely by the quality and telling you you’re gonna pay for it, but they have two layers. I had to do it twice and now I’m used to it so this is the best program there is especially with the AI enable voices, but you really should not have to worry. Ation and access cut off from the AI enable voices so that’s why I pay like 100 and over $100 a year. I think you’re well over $100 a year but it’s it’s worth it. Again, this was a compulsory review, but I felt I owed it to them to be honest it’s good it’s multi layered but it’s worth it in the end. It’s worth it just I recommend you don’t get stuck in the middle area. Because you’ll find yourself with limitations unable to do pretty much anything and you have to worry about time limits and everything you either get it or you don’t they wanted i’m giving it so to summarize. It is the best Text to Speech program out there. I tried a whole bunch and this is the best text to speech program without any doubt it is just expensive.
Nearly there

I’ve used NaturalReader’s software on my desktop since at least 2016. Over the years, the tool has improved significantly. The AI voices are great. When I’m on a computer, it’s pretty easy to listen to text by using the browser extension and selecting the text, or in minimal instances where that doesn’t work, you can copy/paste into the Natural Reader browser window. These features are great and pretty seamless in that environment. I have to say that I’m less pleased with the app and mobile experience. My expectation is for the software to integrate with the mobile experience more naturally. For example, voice options should be incorporated throughout the phone in place of iPhone defaults, which lack in comparative quality. Since extensions now exist in Safari, could you release an extension to read actual web pages? Copying and pasting a website’s contents repeatedly into the app on mobile is laborious since there’s no quick way to select all on mobile (outside of specific programs, that is). Also, the paste-a URL feature is a nice idea, but when I tried that for the New York Times article I was trying to listen to, I received an error relating to required JavaScript, etc., so it wasn’t worthwhile. As someone who relies on listening to content, I’m somewhat let down at the amount of work required to copy/paste if I want to, for example, read all the articles of the day’s New York Times newspaper that don’t include the option to listen via an automated voice. Please improve the mobile user experience. Thank you!
Fantastic for those with Vison challenges

As someone with accommodations at college due to my vision related disabilities, this software has been invaluable. I was able to get the free version initially last year through my school, but I’ve opted now to pay for the updated and upgraded features because I find them so useful. I wan to support this company. In particular, I appreciate that unlike a lot of other software out there, natural reader is able to read textbooks where the layout is two columns on the same page and it reads it in the correct sequence rather than just across the page. Recently when I purchased the upgraded version, I was able to create a custom version of my own speech to read to me and I find that very soothing. It actually really sounds like me. In last year, they’ve added a lot of features and I’m very impressed. Thank you so much for making reading and note taking so much easier for me. And for doing the same for so many others. Highly recommend this software. I use it on both my iPhone and my iPad. Functions flawlessly in both places. Use the online version on my MacBook too which is seamlessly integrated.
- Fixed an issue where background reading would unexpectedly stop.
