Free plan · paid up to $159 every year, see price history

The free plan costs nothing. Paid plans are an ongoing cost, paid every year. Price is what the vendor listed when last checked. Confirm it with the vendor before buying.

Setup with instructions It is a complete program, and a family member can install it and get good results in about half an hour with the instructions. It does take some setup: choosing which version to use, picking a voice, and deciding between the free plan and a paid one. That is why it is a guided setup and not something you open and use right away.

What it is

Summary

AI-generated from vendor-published content · October 1, 2026

NaturalReader is text-to-speech software that reads documents, PDFs, images and web pages out loud, and it can save the audio as an MP3. Its camera scanner reads printed text, and the Chrome extension reads web pages, emails and PDFs, and can read your own writing back in Google Docs so you can catch mistakes by ear. It works as a web app, on iOS, Android and desktop, so it suits students or adults who find reading easier by listening, or who have trouble seeing small print. There is a free plan, but the paid plans are billed yearly, so check what each level includes before you commit.

What setup looks like

  • With a guide
    1. Pick where you will use it: the Chrome extension, the web app, or the iOS, Android or desktop app. Install it or sign in.
    2. Open a document, web page or photo of printed text, then press play to hear it read aloud. Try the voice and speed settings until they feel comfortable.
    3. Try the free plan first and see if it meets your needs. Plan comparisons, voice options and app downloads are on the manufacturer's site. Expect about 30 minutes to get comfortable.
