App summary

Have your books, PDFs, documents, and more read aloud to you by 140+ AI-powered voices in over 25 different languages/dialects!

NaturalReader is a mobile app that can read aloud a variety of texts like PDFs, online articles, cloud documents, even images taken by your camera and so many more.

With over 1 million monthly users and over 15 years of experience dedicated to AI technology that improves the user’s experience, we are one of the most trusted text-to-speech brands today.

Our app has innovative features like the ability to convert and download text into MP3 files, OCR text recognition for PDFs and our camera scanner.

NaturalReader is also an essential reading tool for those with dyslexia and other reading difficulties. By presenting the text both audibly and visually, readers can focus less on the act of reading, and more on the content they are reading. We also offer a dyslexia-friendly font for closed captions and within our text box.

HOW IT WORKS:
Just like a podcast or audiobook, our app lets you be productive anywhere with your mobile device. Complete readings laying in bed, during your daily commute, or walking around campus. By listening on the go, you create more time to do what you love.

Listening to our app couldn’t be easier! Simply choose the document type you wish to upload, select your desired file, and you are ready to start listening. For the best experience, remember to choose your favourite speaker’s voice and optimal listening speed.

the ai-driven photo to text is very good. it even works well with handwritten words. a bug to be aware of is that you have to take the pictures in landscape mode. if you take the pictures in portrait it only reads the first half 😢 I wish the taking pictures process was more automated like Adobe Acrobat. also the 20 Page limit is a pain and I don't think that it's extended if you pay for pro.

I used to use Voice Aloud Reader for many years and it stopped working on my Android so I found this reader which I knew about but Voice Aloud Reader was superior with better voice choices in my opinion. Nevertheless, I am grateful that Natural Reader and I use it everyday throughout the day! I wonder how people get along with out these readers. They function also as dictation tools! It is a huge part of my communication lifestyle!

There's really no offline mode, even with a subscription. Not only will the AI voices not work, it can't even load files that are saved locally. The only workaround is to open a file while you have internet connection, as it will seem to remember that 1 file even after the connection is disrupted, but it will be in a generic, non-AI voice. For that reason, there's much better free apps if you plan on listening offline. Glad I only signed up for 1 month.
