NaturalReader is a downloadable text-to-speech tool for any student who struggles with reading, has a cognitive disability, or simply would benefit from having text read aloud. Once downloaded, the tool can be used anywhere by simply selecting or copying/pasting text.
It can read text aloud from a variety of digital sources. Through a floating toolbar, users can access Natural Reader in different applications to hear the text read aloud in a natural-sounding voice.
The free version of NaturalReader has limited features. These include an OCR function to convert up to 30 scanned images to text and a limited choice of voices. Also available are paid versions of NaturalReader with additional features such as more natural sounding voices, batch convertor of scanned PDFs to text, or the ability to save audio files in mp3.
