About this app

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.

Here are just a few of the reasons why our 1,000,000 monthly users love using NaturalReader

Ratings and reviews

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.

The app got worse right after I paid to subscribe. Before paying for a subscription, the automated voice sucked, but there were no performance issues. Now, immediately after paying for a subscription, the audio freezes like every minute or two making it impossible to passively listen without having to open the app constantly to re-click play.

I like this app but I don't think the price is quite fair. I won't be doing another month of the paid subscription which is $19/month. It does allow you to listen to your ebooks with voices and AI voices and that is nice and great even but there are some negatives. The voices aren't all the way there yet imo. The UI feels a bit clunky and dated. The settings are not entirely intuitive. On a 500char limit so having to shorten things. Personally I'd find closer to 13/month to be more fitting. Imo
