Voces naturales, créditos justos

Las voces suenan bien y cambiar pronunciaciones es simple. Quedé satisfecho para estudio y videos, aunque los límites de créditos obligan a medir el uso.

Eyes rested on commute

Pressed play on a dense PDF, closed my eyes, and actually absorbed it. Small victory. The voice didn’t feel robotic.

Easy read-aloud setup

Signed up, pasted a chapter, picked a voice, and hit play. The controls are simple and the pronunciation editor had tooltips that made sense. Minimal learning curve. Exporting to MP3 for a commute was a nice surprise. I felt productive right away.

I’m not happy with this service.

I’m not happy with this service. I bought it using my Apple ID, and it worked fine until it unexpectedly stopped. Even after showing proof of my subscription and explaining the problem, they only suggested creating a new account with the same email rather than using my Apple ID. Unfortunately, that didn’t solve anything. The poor support and failure to fix this easy issue is very annoying.

Rip off from other services, the voices

Rip off from other services, the voices they offer are just Microsoft's voices. They just make cash off them. You can find all these voices for free online, no need to pay them.

They charge $600 yearly to use

They charge $600 yearly to use YouTube's text-to-speech feature. The voices aren't as good as Google's voices.

Expensive, lots of hassle.

Expensive, lots of hassle. Works okay with basic texts, needs much editing for smooth reading (skimp, read context like pg numbers, copyright info, headers/footers). Has potential, but needs improvement (not worth the cost).

This company is corrupt and Google is helping them.

This company is corrupt and Google is helping them. For some reason there are no google reviews available for this company when I wanted to write a review because when I tried to contact the company to make a complaint about the website crashing and erasing my essay twice and library, on the same day although I continuously manually, saved my work as well, as noticed that natural claims to save every 30 seconds, but it doesn’t. I soon came to find that this website which claimed to want to help SpLD students don’t even have a customer service they A.I bots to reply customers. Which is disgusting for a subscription business. I have been using this software for months now and now because of this everything is ruined.

The company didn't meet my expectations.

The company didn't meet my expectations. It's disappointing that Natural Reader struggles to read bullet lists on websites. Not what you'd expect for £50.
