Elaine LaBonte (ID: 000000f4f9c120a1) Voted 5 ★ - Updated 05/16/2024 Natural reader is great for me. My eyes get tired quickly and I can't focus on the content for more than 10 or 15 minutes without Natural Reader before my mind wanders. I consider NR one of my disability apps. The free voices are ok, but I like the more professional ones.

christophe ménard (ID: 0000007fbc12e57f) Voted 5 ★ - Updated 03/04/2024 J'adore cette merveilleuse extension qui me permet d'utiliser mon service NaturalReader. Ça me simplifie tellement la tâche avec mes études qui lit la théorie, les travaux et les exercices des pages web. J'utilise la page de NaturalReader pour mes documents non-web. C'est très utile, je ne m'en passerais plus jamais.
