- (2025-09-13) Oseas Liber Job: Thank you for creating and maintening this app NauralReader
- (2025-09-12) Breanna Blaylock: I'm having a diffcult time where the app is only reading cliffnotes and not the full article.
- (2025-09-10) Mbogo Thuita: Best!
- (2025-09-07) Zakarya Ali: I dont often write reviews... But this one was just annoying, was using it thought it was ok till 5 mins were up, and apparently its a subscription, and i thought ok sure how much, but for about a $100 and something per year? for what also, it makes free voices annoying to find, it took me a while to find where they were, and they sound more robotic :/ i wonder if they even own all those voices..? anyway, not worth it BYE
- (2025-09-07) Angel: I find that I do have to follow along because it skips anything in parentheses, which is helpful when listing books and dates. However, this app is helping me significantly with my graduate studies, especially as someone dealing with dyslexia who has a hard time reading. I went through my undergrad without this as an option, but thankfully, my grad school offered me this fantastic tool. It is reading my PDFs and even the pages in my Populi courses, such as my syllabus, without me even having to download it ( I added it as an extension to Chrome). I can change the voice, speed it up, slow it down. All schools should be required to offer this to help their students with different abilities.
- (2025-09-06) eDee Bruns: It does nothing. I'm in my Google Doc, I highlight text or I place the curser where I want it to start reading, I click the blue N - nothing happens - it just sits there.
- (2025-09-06) Emily Murdock: This app has been so helpful to me in my college classes. It can read my PDF books out loud to me, and I can also read on my own, highlight, and take notes. I can search my books for keywords to find quotes that I need when I'm writing papers. I'm a big fan!
- (2025-09-05) Jonathan Peterson: good waaaayyyyyy better than ram consuming speechify
- (2025-09-01) Serena Manganini: this is the only free reader that reads almost anything on chrome, in my experience. Super useful
- (2025-08-30) Serjo Agronov: Wow, this is by far the best.
- (2025-08-29) Elissa Kerman: I tried speechify and this one is much more smooth in my opinion. Even the free voices are close enough to human voices that you can understand without following along. Quality extension!
- (2025-08-27) Jazz L: I love this Natural Reader. It does not sound like a drone, it sounds like a person reading. It is great for my bad eye days, for mult-tasking, or just listening. Thank you!
- (2025-08-27) Willie P: Its ok. I think the developers are too money hungry. They allow you to clone your own voice and then pick it as the reader. Thats good right? NOT !!! You will get less than 5 minutes listening time with it before you're told times up, and there's also a time limit on the free voices as well and its not enough to make me keep the app or extension. There are other choices out there so, no big deal.
- (2025-08-27) Phil Walker: My Speechify stopped working in the middle of an article. So I aborted the Speechify platform. Then I saw another text to speech program pop up. I clicked on the go button, and a beautiful voice of a young woman began reading the rest of the article to me, and did a great job. After she finished reading the article, I found out it was Natural Reader that had come to my rescue. Thank you Natural Reader!
- (2025-08-26) J. G.: I like using this app very much especially when I need to change or use a voice for my phone as a greeting when someone calls instead of my voice because we know that there are scammers stealing our own voice. I'm hoping that natural tech support or IT team can consider putting down the Spanish language of the Hispanics here in the US because you have the voice of a Spaniard but that's in Europe Listening to a person from Puerto Rico but were born here in the United States I use it on my Microsoft language when I need something to be read in Spanish and it's clear in understanding because there are some letters that the spaniards pronounce that for the formal english of ours in the United states do not pronounce their way. Just a thought.🤷♂️
- (2025-08-26) Chrispus Taylor: Works great. Thank you for your service.
- (2025-08-25) Daniel Bencz: Allows you to pick a voice you like, and auto-scrolls the content while reading, which is great. I'd love to have a speed setting, and I'd be happy to pay a few bucks for it - and not a fourtune as is the case for some of the competitor plugins.
- (2025-08-25) David Milhoan: Wow, wow, just wow! This reader is amazing! The free voices are great and the paid ones even better. Thank you NaturalReader developers!
- (2025-08-24) Namo Nymus: JUST WISH THE FREE VERSION GAVE MORE MINUTES
- (2025-08-24) Gina Glover: Very happy with this AI text to speech tool. NaturalReader is helping me better understand and visualize the book I'm trying to read.
- (2025-08-21) FatheredPuma81: Let me know if you make it work with extensions.
- (2025-08-21) Rechad: Excellent tool to read web pages and even PDF's! Many thanks.
- (2025-08-20) Nick Robinson: Amazing voices. They are so much better than any other voices I have tried. So helpful for people with bad eyesight or those of us who don't want to strain our eyes on bright screen. And in 2025 it has got even better with a wider range of voices, more natural and human sounding. The built in reader is fabulous. Good work.
- (2025-08-20) Sarah Daugherty (copperhead): I appreciate Natural Reader. I have Dyslexia and to hear a book being read is super beneficial to me. Thank you. I also, like that I can change the speed for my listening skills.
- (2025-08-18) Leon Mundinger: Good voice quality, but frequent errors force multiple clicks and retries. Same issues arise constantly with each new text segment. Still usable.
- (2025-08-18) Eriks S.: Great for people with reading troubles. Reads well regular webpages, but straggle a bit to read Pdf documents opened in browser, sometimes skips same paragraphs for unknown reasons. Even I used Natural Reader as separate installed software long time ago, browser integrated variant is way better. My only hope is that additional voices could be a bit cheaper and we can just buy them forever not for 1 year only.
- (2025-08-17) Kader Mohideen Fasid: it's great. Really cool than some of the expensive alternatives
- (2025-08-16) Daniel Jeske: its a good platform but the preview is to short and the free voices are all just typical microsoft voice Other wise its great and works well and is easy to pull up!
- (2025-08-16) Edward G: Very good.
- (2025-08-15) Ron C: One of the few that actually work
- (2025-08-15) Emanuel Quezada: Easy to use, plenty of free options that get the job done.
- (2025-08-14) Ed Mullen: NaturalReader is one of my favorite apps. I often read PDF documents and up till now I couldn't find a Reader with a 'read out loud' function that was adequate. A good Reader needs: selection of voices, highlight words as it reads, flexibility to start, stop, move to different sections of the document easily, etc. Only Natural Reader does this. I tried all the other 'read out loud' apps and none of them worked properly. Here is why this is important: A good 'Read Out Loud' app allows the reader to both 'hear' and 'see' the words of a document at the same time. This provides two inputs to the brain rather than just one (see). These inputs reinforce each other greatly improving memory and understanding of the material. All reading should be done this way if possible - especially in schools and colleges.
- (2025-08-12) Ivan Lamden: ugly voices
- (2025-08-10) Merciny Tavete: Great extension. Always useful.
- (2025-08-09) Dawood Putros: awesome extension, but very expensive...
- (2025-08-06) Hawke: Can't give it a 5 because we don't have the option to download the spoken voice to take on a walk. Also there is some glitches when I try to have it read a document. It reads the first letter of the first word of a sentence and then reads the sentence. Sometimes in the document it reads inside parenthesis too. Also I don't like subscriptions. If they had the option to just buy a month without subscribing I'd prefer that. I would rather buy all the months upfront so I know exactly how much money I will have.
- (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.
