Welcome to Natural Reader We want to first say thank you and welcome to Natural Reader! By registering today, you now have a powerful reading and learning tool at your fingertips. We know that reading can sometimes be both challenging and time-consuming in a busy schedule, which is why our applications are built to assist these common issues with reading. WHAT IS NATURAL READER Natural Reader uses text-to-speech technology to convert any text into natural-sounding audio so our users can listen instead of reading. The most popular uploads from our users are for converting PDFs, textbooks, webpages, images and eLearning content. Our applications work with almost any document type including PDF, txt, doc(x), ppt(x), pages, ods, odt, and non-DRM epub files. We have both free and paid subscriptions to our applications to meet different users' needs on different budgets. Our Plus subscription includes exclusive features and the use of Plus Voices, our newest and most advanced voices. Plus Voices enable fluid and natural-sounding text to speech that matches the patterns and intonation of human voices. Free users can sample the Premium Voices for 20 minutes per day and the Plus Voices for 5 minutes per day. Or use any available Free Voices unlimitedly. DYSLEXIA While everyone can experience the benefits of using Natural Reader, those diagnosed with Dyslexia or those who struggle with reading will love our applications. By presenting the text both sonically and visually, users can focus more on comprehension of the text and spend less focus on the act of reading. Furthermore, users can change the font within the textbox to a font specifically designed to be dyslexia-friendly, making it easier to read along. A.I. TECHNOLOGY We do not just convert text into audio, but we create a listening experience tailored to every user. Using A.I. technology, users can choose from advanced human-like voices and select to detect and filter out unwanted text (tables, graphs, images, headers/footers, etc.). These types of text may be useful when reading the document, but when listening, they do not provide any value and can cause confusion to the listener. By combining our A.I. technology with our text-to-speech capabilities, we create a natural, human-like listening experience, making it easier to focus and listen for long periods of time. FEATURES OCR Scanner One of our most used features is our OCR (Optical Character Recognition) Scanner within our mobile application. The OCR Scanner uses your mobile camera to convert physical text found in books and notes just by taking a photo. Simply take a picture of the page(s) or text you wish to have read aloud, and press play start listening. Customization Users can create a listening experience tailored to their preferences with our advanced customization and settings. Users can choose their favorite speaker’s voice and optimal listening speed. Download to MP3 Users can download their documents into MP3 audio, which allows them to listen anywhere, anytime. Once downloaded, users do not need cellular service or wifi connection to access their recording as it is saved to their device. This makes listening on a hike, airplane, or traveling easy and accessible. Cross-Device Compatibility All of our applications are cross-compatible with one another which makes it easy to stop listening on one device and start listening on another. Seamlessly continue listening from your desktop to your mobile device using our mobile application.
