Natural Reader was once an excellent and effective tool for TTS, but since its expansion, it has terrible customer service and even worse usage documentation! I'm very sorry I bought it! The older version was much more productive and user friendly! Now it's just disappointing, frustrating, time-consuming, and very expensive! For the last month, I've been trying to get their customer service team to help me correct extraneous voices appearing where they were never chosen to be. Very aggravating and unproductive!

Up until a couple of weeks ago, Natural Reader was the perfect compromise. The free version offered unlimited voices that were actually good — in particular, the Italian voice Giuseppe, which was genuinely pleasant to listen to. There were some minor issues with sentence breaks and occasional awkward pauses, but overall the experience was solid, especially considering it was a free plan. As often happens, though, good things don’t last. With the latest update, all voices except two (the basic, robotic Windows ones) are now locked behind a subscription. Meanwhile, the other limitations remain: no OCR for free users, clunky sentence parsing, and the same reading issues as before. At this point, I’d rather use Speechify. The free voices are comparable, but at least it offers OCR and reads text more smoothly. And if I were to pay for a subscription, I would still choose Speechify without hesitation. A real pity — this change will likely cost them a significant amount of traffic.

They scammed me into thinking I had signed up for this service with and email that said my subscription was paid. I usually ignore these but tried to sign in via the website. They sent me a verification and there is no place in there to cancel or view an account or subscription. How can you ever trust using a prduct if they start business this way.

They do not offer a free testing period, but promise to refund if you don't like it. I cancelled the subscription within an hour, but no refund. I waited to give them plenty of time to process. After enquiring I was told I exceeded the period to claim the money and was presented with a link where I should have done it. Of course that link was nowhere to be seen on the page the promise was made.

I’m natural reader and with the app I can only read 4 minutes of your document without making you pay for a subscription I’m such a good tts app and NOT DOGSHIT AT ALLLLL!!!!!

At first, the reader was awesome, just long enough to choose a monthly subscription and happily spend $20.80. Literally minutes later the reader would pause (que audio click) turn off, then back on after EVERY sentence. This isn't a practical way to listen to text even for a minute it's absurdly distracting. So in the end, I have yet to talk to a human, am out $20 bucks, and get FAR better reader performance with the 5 minute free version.

SO annoying making me make an account cause i want to use a feature, verify and all that shit and only after revealing i have to pay for their service with not even that realistic voices. why does this pop up as first "free text to speech" ugh edit: found out you also have a limit of 5 minutes a day!

If I could, I'd give it a 0 star cuz i was so furious at this greedy website 10 mins ago. A "FREE Text to Speech" website gives you a PAYWALL as soon as you try to download the mp3. MF that's not FREE, but i can tell you what it is, scummy.
