NaturalReader provides support for Microsoft’s Windows operating system and for Apple’s Mac OS X. NaturalReader for Windows is available as a Free, Personal, Professional, and Ultimate Edition. NaturalReader for Windows is also available as an Education Edition that comes in three flavors: Silver, Gold, and Platinum. NaturalReader for Mac is available as a Personal Edition. And I end this paragraph by mentioning NaturalReader Cloud – a cloud package that includes desktop software, mobile apps, and a web-based app.

NaturalReader has a user friendly interface that lest you easily load a document, select an eBook, or access your cloud documents. By uploading documents to the cloud you can sync them across all your devices and you can conveniently access them from any location. You can switch from the standard interface to a handy floating bar. Select text in Word, in an email, in a PDF document, or in a webpage, click the Play button from the floating bar, and NaturalReader will read the text out loud.

As mentioned above, there are multiple NaturalReader Editions. So obviously, the functionality you get depends on the edition you have. If you have the Free Edition for PCs, you will get to enjoy the following functionality:
Text to speech – type of paste text, load text files, load PDF or Word documents, load eBooks and NaturalReader will read them to you.
Voices – three Microsoft voices are available for free; several premium voices can be tried. You can adjust the reading speed.
Floating bar – select some text, press the Play button from the floating bar, let NaturalReader read the selected text to you.

Here’s a look at the functionality NaturalReader Free does not offer: natural voices, convert to MP3, MS Office add-in, pronunciation editor, conversation control, batch file converter, MP3/WAV file converter, OCR (Optical Character Recognition).

There are times when you can’t or don’t want to read. And thanks to NaturalReader, you don’t have to force yourself to read. You can let this text to speech software do the reading.
