Looking at the computer screen for a long time in our daily work and life not only tires our eyes, but also prevents us from leaving the screen to do something else. In this case, we can use tools like NaturalReader to read aloud the text in various documents, e-books, web pages, emails, etc. This can not only improve work efficiency and quality to a certain extent, but also allow your eyes to rest and free your hands to do other things.

NaturalReader is a powerful, simple and easy-to-use text to speech (text reading) application, developed by NaturalSoft from Canada. It is suitable for people with dyslexia (visual impairment), or when you are too lazy or busy to read text with eyes. You can use it to read any text content aloud from your computer in any format such as PDF, Word, PPT, email, web page, TXT, or convert it directly to MP3, WAV or OGG format audio files to listen to anywhere and anytime.

NaturalReader has an intuitive and user-friendly interface, supports multiple languages and natural voices, supports custom hotkeys, comes with high-precision OCR text recognition function, which can convert image with text from your computer to voice and audio files. In addition, it has various functions such as pronunciation editor, file synchronization, batch converter and session control, which can meet most of your needs in the field of text to speech.
