There's a learning curve, but once you figure out all the shortcuts, its super helpful!

Due to age and vision problems, I find this tool to be a necessity. I love it and use it several times daily. Thanks for creating it for us.
Martha Reynolds
They do not allow me to cancel..... I have tried everything, and I just can't cancel them taking money from my account.
anime god
It doesn't read the small sentence
Brittany Oliver
this is a really good app!
Priscilla Sanchez
Love this.. it helps my writing tremendously!!!!
John Kalagia
Wish I had known about this earlier. I use to copy and paste text to reader but this app can read text simply by gliding the mouse over the text
Jack Sands
I've used them all and NaturalReader is by far the best! Use it all the time!
Moises Francisco
Finally found the Right Text reader, this reader worked for me, it didn't cut my texts.
Ryan _wpi
Best text to speech i ever used.
Marcus Bens (Marcus11)
great
Dave Yates
I love it so fab
Elliot Pines
The continuous slider of speed control is definitely superior to set, discrete gradations.
Munsha Ahmed
Perfect text to speach reader fr all types of files both from within and without web pages.
Leonardo Aberastain
Really bad. Can not even detect the language, horrible experience...0 out of 10

The Google Chrome extension fails to work when selecting text. The customer support is abysmal; you only ever get responses from a bot, with almost no human interaction. There is no option for a one-month subscription, likely because the service performs so poorly. Instead, they force you into a one-year commitment upfront. The core issue, however, is that they simply do not fix bugs. This is the biggest problem of all. It is unclear what the company's management is thinking. In this day and age, an AI-driven company should operate much differently. To the administration: Take the list of reviews, feed them into an AI chat, and let it tell you exactly what you need to fix.

Helps me study 5 times faster, scans images and documents, reads from webpages or e-books. I would recommend 100%.
channel suport
Good plugin for if you have dyslexia. I wish I could change the voice.
Sunny Yadav
At least leave a few ai voices as free such as AVA
Paul White
the reading is good but could use a few more natural voices to chose from.
hanna moonfly
DO NOT USE: it is broken and does not work for me
C
Completely decided to stop reading sections of page, and the only way to get help is a stupid AI who is an almost sadistic idiot. These people seem to hate their users.
Daniel BERES
Bought it for Japanese language. Is is buggy as hell and chat support is a useless AI. I tried e-mail but the answer I got still comes from the same useless AI. Not a great experience so far.
OminousA4
Not great, it misses entire sections of the page, including hyperlink text.
Julie Denmark
Doesn't work properly. Works for some minutes, then you have to refresh the page each time you'll use it. Waste of time.
Manolo
Halfway through reading a webpage (e.g. a news article from yahoo.com/news), NaturalReader continues reading but stops highlighting what it's reading, and if you clicked on any sentence - to highlight it and to begin reading from that sentence, it doesn't work (the sentence doesn't get highlighted and reading doesn't begin from there). This has been my experience for quite a few months now.
Aimee Harvey
Its good but you don't have a lot of time to use it. Use the one above this, its just as good, and you can keep using it for a long time.
Nicklas Dupont
I really like this program. I study biology, and the fact I am able to correct the pronunciation is amazing - espacially because I go through material in both english and danish. One thing I do miss though, is being able to view files two pages at a time, so I don't have to constant scroll between text, and a figure/table/graph etc. It is a feature I desperately need, but I like the program so much, that I still rate it 5/5
Cam B
Good. Except they secretly force all their meaningful features behind a paywall they do not tell you about. Thanks for wasting my time.
Jeremy Gail Manaois- Alea
This Application is very helpful especially when I have to finish a lot of readings in one day. I commend the creators of Natural Readers.
Volodymyr
Reads the next nicely. No complaints.
PI M
I love it, even though the good voices are for the paid members
Nikhil Ranjan Sarkar
It's good.
Ryan Bell
I use it daily. Works well and so so many voices to choose from.
wycliffe odhiambo
So far so good.
Matthew Johnson
I love the program it makes listing to my web novels and other novels easier as I can listen to them. They don't have the best free options but I found one that I really love and now all the protagonist in the novels i am listing too are young and British sounding.
Tyra McGovern
I love this app and it truly is a 5 star app. Deducted 1 because of the cost. It's not expensive to a regular human but an older, disabled student... well... ANY student... I venture... not so much. It adds up. Thank you for your help as I attempt going to school again.
anay dighee
5 star very usefull
Diana Minze
I'll change this to 5 stars if you bring the mia voice back
Andrew Sullivan
Great tool for text to speech!
JH N
I have been using this for over 4 years. Highly recommended
Christopher Tyler Short
I took a break from using the extension, but I'm pretty sure there used to be a lot more settings options. When I'm listening to academic papers I used to be able to skip parentheticals and brackets, but that doesn't seem to be an option anymore.
Viviana Leon
I have a hard time reading because I have dyslexia and my eyes dance a lot, especially as an adult that is going back to school after having a full 40 hour work week. NATURAL READER IS A LIFE SAVER, LOVE IT!
Hussain Thana
very good
Cat Cizmas
WELL worth the upgrade if you have auditory processing disorder. consider it part of your books and supplies budget.
Mia A. Price, MSA
I love this program. My only critique would be continuous reading. It only reads a page at a time, if there is a subscription that can match with book apps like Kortext and Kindle, it would really set the app off!!!
Melisa Yang
Unless you pay, you will have very terrible robotic voices.
Iscah Flyer
Are you kidding? The natural voices are only within a 5 minute limit, then they ask you to subscribe for 9.95 a month. Their "free" voices are the same robotic voices online textbooks and Adobe uses. A joke and a waste of time.
Joseph Fenech Laudi
Love it!
Mark Zhang
This is the best free one I found on the chrome web store. Just like its name, The voice is real natural.
