- after getting and doing the long process of logging in, it doesn't let you use it, you need to pay to use it
- Michael Belew
- So far great extension. Great voices, easy setup, easy to use.
- Ken Madsen
- Frustrating and only kinda works, if you can live with an extension that completely forgets your choice of voice and sometimes also highlighting settings, every 15-20 minutes. Imagine hearing a sultry female voice, only for the next sentence to be in a deep male voice. Other issues include not loading unless having to click on the extension icon sporadicly, or clicking the play button taking you to their website out of nowhere instead of playing, all randomly. One time you can use the button, next page of a lightnovel it jumps to their web ui for uploading texts instead. Favorites stopped working about a year back, before that you could at least favorite the voice you want to switch quickly when it turns back to the first in the list, now you have to search for the voice (using amy). Few years back reading a line with 3 dots after each other stopped the reading, they fixed that at least.. many years back they changed from unlimited characters pr day to 1mill without letting you know other than hitting the limit. Some 4-5 years back they changed again to 500.000 characters however they did let you know and as i recall refunded the remaining part of your subscription if you didn't like it.. At some point it was changed to 250.000 but they changed that back to 500k at least. I have reported this many times over the years (yes have been a pro subscriber for years now) but nothing has ever seemed to be done about it. To be quite honest with the development of other AI's that has been going on the past year, I do not see my self resubscribing this time around when my yearly subscription is up for renewal.

- For it being free, it rocks. I give a thumbs down for the price and the lack of at least one super solid voice (I am frugal). If you did a perpetual license I'd be sold.
- Wilmer Herrera
- Amazing!! Great app to close/rest your eyes and still get the info at 2x speed
- Jennifer Garrett
- This software has made it so much easier for me to focus and retain information, it's crazy! I would have had such a hard time getting thru college without it.
- sony cu
- I use this to read my online course material quicker and write notes while I listen. Unlike other text to speech aps, this one has been able to read directly off webpages, documents, and, ebooks without having to download everything. As long as I can open it, NaturalReader reads it for me.
- Emily DeClark
- I love using natural reader. It's free and the pro just lets you upload bigger files and use better sounding voices which I don't need. I use it on my phone, my iPad, and have it as a browser extension on my laptop. I'm autistic and on my overstimulated days I just shut down so hard I can't read. This is the best app/website I have found because the interface in beginner friendly, there's no pop-up ads despite being free, and the features I need aren't blocked behind a paywall. I have it read me directions for assignments, articles, sometimes just a nice short story I found online. A couple times I had pdf versions of books and I would upload it to the app on my phone to listen to my books without having to pay for audible or something. Another great feature in the app is that it saves your spot in readings in several files at once. I haven't even noticed a limit on how many files you can have saved. I don't think I would be as far into college as I am without natural reader. The temptation to use AI when you're young and struggling with assignments is strong and Natural Reader has helped me stay away from that. It gives me just the support I need to get through my hard days.
- Magne Seim
- Fantastic AI-voices!
- Amethyst Stori
- There's a learning curve, but once you figure out all the shortcuts, its super helpful!
- Asotin Eighty Eight
- 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
- JON BIT24 Inc.
- 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.
- Lavender
- 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
