“Natural Reader has been instrumental in helping him to excel in school!”

We use Natural Reader software and the MP3 export feature almost daily to help him get through lengthy reading assignments and to help create study material he can listen to on his IPOD. Natural Reader has been instrumental in helping him to excel in school! While reading to learn, he can now focus on learning the material at hand rather than being distracted by his reading challenges. He is now an Honor Roll student who has made tremendous progress since utilizing Natural Reader. We highly recommend Natural Reader for any student who has difficulties with reading.

“I no longer strain my eyes trying to read tiny fonts in emails or web pages.”

I no longer strain my eyes trying to read tiny fonts in e-mails or web pages or spend time recording my own voice for teaching purposes. I have a "bilingual" Natural Reader and it has become a very useful tool. By the way, my students haven't noticed that my "friend" Kate, who reads lessons so nicely, is a computer.

Just wanted to say a quick thank you for developing your natural reader software! Im 23yr old Australian student and I have struggled with dyslexia for as long as I remember and I am currently in my final year of a communications degree.. so you can imagine how frustrating my studies have been! anyway I recently found your software online and it has made my life 5 million times better!!! I can actually get to the end of my readings without bursting a blood vessel due to frustration! And my assignments and grades are actually on the increase!

As Computer Science and Engineering student I have to spend most of my time in front of the PC programming or reading slides full of formulas. This makes my eyes totally tired and I simply do not feel like reading afterwards. On the other hand, at the end of the day I long for diversity e.g. by a great novel or some motivational material. With NaturalReader I easily turn inspirational and self-improvement literature into mp3s and listen to them on the long way back home from the university. This helps me keep the balance between professional and soft skills.The multiple voices support is an amazing feature and the German language starts to sound really nice when spoken by Sarah.

I purchased Natural Reader for my daughter many years ago. The program is a great aid for children with language-based learning disabilities and helped my daughter immensely in preparing the myriad written assignments that were part of her education in her specialized school. She has now taken the program to college with her where she continues to use it. Recently I purchased a program upgrade which I am sharing with my elderly father who has age-related macular degeneration. He enjoys using his computer and has been struggling with low vision. Natural Reader is allowing him to listen to pages on the internet, alleviating his struggles trying to read from the computer screen with a magnifying glass.

As an assistive technology advocate for an Independent Living Center for Riverside County California, I think Nature Reader is a wonderful and affordable software for children with learning disability and dyslexia. I have cerebral palsy myself and this software has increased my productivity more than I had imagined. What I like the most about the software is the interface, because of my bad eyesight I had to increase the font, it makes reading more fun and pleasurable

"Natural Reader helps me to learn and listen to texts of interest without having eyestrain or eye discomfort from reading the words."

I discovered NaturalReader after hearing that it was possible to have text from the computer read aloud to you. I have Aspergers' Syndrome, which is an autistic spectrum learning difficulty. I love to gather information, learn and research things on the internet, with current technology more and more information is digital rather than in a book, I use NaturalReader to read aloud passages from ebooks I have bought, PDF documents, webpages with lots of text, and to read back to me things I have typed to 'hear them'. This helps me greatly as although I am a visual/kinetic learner, words are not pictures. NaturalReader allows me to hear all the text I would otherwise have had to read on the screen, allowing me to create a mental image of what I am hearing, this helps me process and have a better retainment of information. The quality of the voices available, the ability to adjust the speed of speech is brilliant. I have three voices installed on the computer but my favourite by far is 'US - Heather', it is pleasant to listen to and is really easy to understand. Natural Reader helps me to learn and listen to texts of interest without having eyestrain or eye discomfort from reading the words. It is also really nice to have someone read to you, it uses a lot less energy and focus. The ability to copy text from places online and create audio files to listen to on an MP3 player or music player is fantastic, it allows me to go anywhere and do anything instead of sitting in front of a computer screen. The feature that allows you type your own text and have that read to is a great way to check accuracy or how it 'sounds'. All in all I would have to say that NaturalReader is one of the best pieces of software I have ever bought, and stands alone in quality and value for money.

"NaturalReader has been a transformational and liberating product for me. "

As someone that suffers from a learning disability, having this product to proof my emails, presentations and contracts, has allowed me to become more independent and not have the burden to rely on someone to proof my work. I now create my document, and have NaturalReader read back the contents of what I wrote, thus it allows me to listen to what I actually wrote, and not what I think I wrote. It has given me additional confidence and generated increased capacity, as I am more secure in my work products and have the ability to get work done faster. There have been a few times since purchasing this product where I had to switch laptops, and for brief periods of time where I did not have access to the product, I was completely lost without the product on my laptop. I really have to say thank you and I cannot express enough the impact this product has had on my life.

Before getting your software, I was always in trouble when trying to cross-check my translation with the original work. Natural Reader allows me to listen and concentrate on the written material and spared me the trouble of reading texts sentence by sentence, which is a very tedious and inefficient way of editing. But now it is different. I am at ease in detecting and correcting inaccuracies, which will render good translation pieces that meet the best of my clients' satisfaction. I strongly recommend translators to use your invaluable software.

I heard about Natural Reader from a friend who uses it to proof read her Reports before sending them out. I downloaded a trial version and then almost immediately realised I had found one of the most valuable tools I had come across. I am an author, writing books as well as newspaper and website Horoscopes content for companies around the world and quality is essential for my business. While I have a proof reader who proof reads my content, I now use Natural Reader as the final step in the proofing process.

With Natural Reader I not only pick up any mistakes that have been missed, it gives me a good sense of the natural flow of what I have written. I can't recommend this highly enough.

"NaturalReader allows me to enjoy them without being glued to the screen or an eReader."

Almost all of my work is online and in addition to that I run two websites. Some days my eyes just feel exhausted. I devour audiobooks but I'm also sent a lot of ebooks as I'm a reviewer. NaturalReader allows me to enjoy them without being glued to the screen or an eReader. I can enjoy the story and rest my eyes. I upgraded to a paid version because I was so impressed with the voices - it's made my reading experience so much easier. If I have a deadline for a review and I've been glued to a screen all day, I can still get a break this way. It's ideal.

I am a Core-Self Embodiment Trainer and Counselor with a Ph.D in Humanistic Psychology.
I have been using natural reader since 2007 and I would highly recommend it to anyone who works with writing, proofreading, editing, teaching, and publishing academic and empirical research. If you write novels or other works of fiction or non-fiction, natural reader would definitely help your craft. It would be tremendously helpful for students of any ages who can use a computer to express themselves and hear their written expression spoken back to them. It improves spelling, grammar, punctuation etc. Any professional who writes and publishes articles (research or otherwise) can benefit by employing natural reader. On top of all of these benefits, you can also turn all your text documents into audio mp3 files to play back when and where you wish.
with blessings and gratitude

When I first read something I have written, I always need to proof it to see if it reads the way I thought I had written it. Knowing this, I must read and reread several times to make sure I have written my thoughts correctly. My computer crashed and I have not yet been able to reinstall NaturalReader, my old standby. Since I correspond with some Japanese students I tutor in English, I always want my grammar to be accurate and NaturalReader makes me feel confident it is.
