Latest reviews
- (2025-07-31) Eny Osung: Helps me read many books in audio. NaturalReader is by far the best free screen reader I use almost everyday. It often struggles to read pdfs. And it sometimes gets confused when the content is a 2 page spread - then it reads across both pages instead of reading one column at a time. Perhaps the most annoying thing is you can't change the voice unless you pay - I wish there was a free male voice (UK) as an option.
- (2025-07-29) Andy: It doesn't work 95% of the time on regular websites.
- (2025-07-29) José Luis P.: Great app! Fully recommended.
- (2025-07-29) Eddmund J. C. A.: Its good, doesn't realy work well with text writen with stamering. Takes a long time to load and is hard to open the extention
- (2025-07-29) Jillian Tippit: While working through studying this app helps me when my eyes want to go cross from reading everything on a screen. Sometimes when working on a project, having the app read out the instructions while I do the work helps as well. Great app, not cumbersome at all. Simple is best!
- (2025-07-27) Draconequus W.: About 1 month ago, half the voices stoped working for me. I like the Sammantha voice, and have used her for the past 6 years. It is frustrating to have to use another voice that I haven't grown accustomed to.
- (2025-07-24) KayB In2thedeependpodcast (KayBoss): Once you learn to use this tools, the more comfortable you get with it. I like the about reading function that way I can focus few things while I listen.
- (2025-07-23) La Porta: really great. thanks
- (2025-07-22) Joel Guillerm: very useful extension tested on Windows 11 Chrome and Windows 11 Edge : no problem on Edge. at a certain time, on Chrome, the word highlighting function did not work anymore, only the sentence highlighting worked, even after removing this extension, restarting Chrome and reinstalling the extension ... :-(
- (2025-07-21) Camilo Torres Monsalve: I recomend this app beacuse it help me to understand all.
- (2025-07-21) Andy Ott: This has helped me be able to get through emails that would ahve bogged me down! It helps to have this read it to me as I read along, so I have much better comprehension and retention.
- (2025-07-21) Comrade Max: it has a paywall 💔
- (2025-07-21) Anderson: useful
- (2025-07-20) Mark Ndibui: This extension has really impacted my life, I was not able to read long publications but now i can read entire books due to the help that comes from the extension. Thank you to the creators.
- (2025-07-18) Lynn Nouri: Because this company chooses to make it difficult to try the free voices, I am deleting after only a few minutes. They set the tool up so that the most expensive voices are set to read for you and the free ones are at the very bottom of the list. Also - their free voices are so BAD that it makes me wonder if they programmed them to sound extra robot-like to force you to think that is the way it has to be if you want a "free" version. The male version of the voice is similar to the voice of the computer on War Games from the 80s. We have come a LONG way from that when it comes to AI generated voices. So I am very disappointed in what I consider a lack of ethics. Especially since people using this extension are probably doing so out of a need due to a disability.
- (2025-07-16) Pradyumna Kumar Mallick: A very very very very very useful and lovely app will surely donate on my first salary. So generous that includes free voice models also. May be you are rich but nice ^v^ -\0_0/-
- (2025-07-16) Demonta M: A must have extension and tool. It makes it so easier to stay focused on long content. I am glad I have it on my laptop and my mobile phone.
- (2025-07-15) Freddy B.: I 100% recommend. Very useful Tool. 👍
- (2025-07-15) Jose Carlos Caporal Junior (Caporal): I am using for training. Helps to memorize when I listen while I read.
- (2025-07-13) Nguyen Minh: This is adroit in diverse English contexts
- (2025-07-10) Kaitrex ➓: It read everything EXCEPT for the text. Only read the headers and title.
- (2025-07-10) Marina Hovakimyan: Unexpectedly good! Useful and precise
- (2025-07-10) sakshi karanjkar: Best one I've used so far. Just don't remove it from chrome or discontinue it, please. Keep the free version basic as it is. Will do.
- (2025-07-08) Eugene: It works as expected. Thanks!
- (2025-07-07) Punit Jaiswal: It's pretty good. They could work upon the random pause in between and sometime even after sentence. It makes it feel a bit off. Otherwise it would be a 5.
- (2025-07-07) Alisa Victory: The free version is very good. The premium feature is excellent.
- (2025-07-06) Yo Landa: after 5 minuted it turned out all the voices are paid. impossible to find any free voice
- (2025-07-05) Mike Backs: you hacve to paid a crazy amount of money if you want to use it... It's only a 5 min free trail then you must pay. and it's not worth it.
- (2025-06-30) Brandon Mccoy: so far it works great 2 days in
- (2025-06-29) Jonathan L: not fast enough
- (2025-06-26) Ben Duitsman: good
- (2025-06-26) Jeff Onam: great and fluid translation.
- (2025-06-24) Michael Whitney: Still has a way to go before it sounds natural, but beats Apple's built-in reader by a mile.
- (2025-06-23) Natalie Rae Spittell (Nona): Natural Reader is an essential part of my online education experience. Digital textbooks are fantastic for on the go, but also equally disastrous for anyone who is both a full time student while also being a full time worker on a PC. After a while, you just can't stare at the screen any longer. Natural Reader saved me. Not only does it read the textbooks with a more human sounding voice, but it provides me a dark mode reading pane that is a huge relief to my eyes. Using this product has reduced how many migraines I get. I was excited to get it on my phone, however, I have no idea how I'm supposed to operate it there. Definitely keeping an eye out for more of a demonstration of how to get it working on my phone. Thank you for all that you do.
- (2025-06-22) Andrea Leguizamon: is my favorite reading extension
- (2025-06-22) Mary Adams: As a very low vision person who loves to "read", I greatly rely upon and appreciate natural reader reading aloud to me many articles and emails that would be most difficult to navigate with my eyes. The quality of the automated voice is greatly improved over early Editions and really sounds like someone you know reading. I just love it!
- (2025-06-22) Anna Chow: I love it! Free and easy to use, both of desktop and mobile downloaded the Natural Reader apps. Thanks !
- (2025-06-20) Jyoti Singh: Very Good impressive
- (2025-06-15) Cody Caudillo: Works if you upload the PDF and create an account, however you only get 5 minutes with a natural voice and all the free voices are robotic. So, if you're desperate, I guess use this. I'm moving on to something that allows more engaging voices.
- (2025-06-15) Mark “Yoxhi” Villaruel: Great for my adhd and helps me read. Would reccommend.
- (2025-06-12) Frank Ivins: The new LLM voices are better than anything else out there. Why not five stars? I mostly use it in Chrome on my PC to read web pages. The plugin can be quite glitchy. It will occasionally refuse to load at all. It will sometimes spontaneously swtich to another voice and stop highlighting until I reset those settings. I would also like it if the team could communicate ways in which the LLM will improve over time... things like certain weird pronuncations and splitting sentences in odd places. It needs a lot of improvement, but it's currently the best out there and I'm happy I bought my 1 year subscription. I've dropped the review to 3 stars since none of the issues with pausing and getting stuck have improved.
- (2025-06-10) Jacob Penrod: This is exactly what I was looking for.
- (2025-06-07) Marcos GóMEZ: Great
- (2025-06-05) Benjamin Hsu: it's awesome.
- (2025-06-05) E.M. Lacey: I do love Natural Reader. It helps my writing process be it creative or an email. It helps me to catch the things my brain ignores but my ears catch. It's a great tool.
- (2025-06-01) Youssef Saleh: Very convenient and easy to use. Easy recommendation.
- (2025-05-27) RCFoodFace RJG: i love it
- (2025-05-26) Heinz Klemann: great browser feature to read out emails and online texts
- (2025-05-22) Adrian Pena-Bautista: love it!
- (2025-05-21) Mike M: great for local pdf files! others i tried wouldn't recognize the text and read it, or required manually copying/pasting it into the reader's UI window.
