Absolutely love this life saver!
With the way, my brain works this app has enabled me to function in a fast-paced workplace. The reason I choose this one and use it over others is that you can incorporate the images. I’m in an industry where I’m constantly referencing visual images with the text and other apps, take the visual images out. The one thing I’ve struggled with is trying to download anything and reading it in areas where I don’t have the Internet. I have not been successful with that so far. In addition, the voices are superb. Great job NaturalReader.
Very useful
Excellent for creating guided meditation scripts for yourself or making presentations. Pretty much anything where a voice other than your own seems more fitting. If you do happen to want to hear things read in your voice? You can easily clone it in the proper tone you would like and do that too! Lots of languages and from what I can tell, they’re not only realistic, but intonations often fall right where you want them too. If they don’t, simple punctuation adjustments typically do the trick.
Good product. Too expensive
Works great for studying and reading im general. Find it to be wildly overpriced
Time efficient
Natural
trader is helping me manage my time by giving me access to research papers I should be reading in an audible format sonincamlosyem while I drive and work around the house. It’s easy to use and glitch free!
Magnifique
Pratique
Nice App!
I have been using the free version for the last month and it has helped me quite a lot with my article readings for the last essay in my master's degree.

This app is okay but not great. The quality of voice is good and in the general sense, natural sounding.
I’ve been using it to read research-paper PDFs and it struggles a lot. The problem is that it reads whatever is on the page, ignoring how people typically read. This reads every character, page number, heading, URL, etc, in such a disruptive and peculiar way that it seriously impacts the comprehension of the text.
Odd pronunciations pollute the read. Eg: “face-to-face” is read as “fuh-seeta face”. It reads “e.g. Anchorman references” as three sentences: “Ee. (pause) Gee. (pause) Anchorman references”.
The voice often has long lags in its reading, often on page breaks, but seemingly anywhere at all. I’m continually pulling out my phone to see if the app has paused or if it crashed. I’ve waited nearly 30 seconds for the voice to resume after it has read a section heading.
If you can acclimatize to it’s disruptive and distracting idiosyncrasies, it’s okay. I’ve been using this app extensively for one month and am still seriously distracted by all of the inline pauses and strange pronunciations.
Teach this thing how to read URLs and skip page numbers and headings.
You stay classy, San Diego.
A generous 3-star
Natural Readers might sound appealing with its “Premium Plan,” but don’t be fooled—there’s nothing “premium” about it. It seems satisfactory during the demo. However, once purchased, the quality of the available voices drastically drops, sounding almost insultingly robotic—a stark contrast to the demo. This tactic feels like a push to make users upgrade to the “Plus Plan,” which you’ll find the AI-generated voices less grating, but still far from perfect. Expect emotionless readings, occasional lag, and frequent mispronunciations. Moreover, the pricing structure is exorbitant, particularly for casual users. The service is geared toward those who rely on such tools extensively; occasional users will find little value here. Another significant drawback is the inability to download complete audio files for offline use, a feature you might expect at these price points. Customer support is another area where Natural Readers disappoints, with responses often feeling dismissive or rude. It’s a clear example of a service built on corporate priorities rather than user needs. One can only hope for innovations in this space to provide better alternatives and challenge the status quo. At the time of this review, I still have yet to write to them to request a refund on the premium plan. It will not be an automatic process?
