NaturalReader provides you with the high quality, most human sounding voices. It is compatible with many application programs such as Microsoft Word, Outlook, PowerPoint and Internet Explorer. And it is incredibly easy to use. You'll find that NaturalReader offers you the most benefits with the lowest prices.

Currently, we provide three versions of NaturalReader for your preference. They are Free version, Personal version and Professional version. The main difference is that the Professional and Personal versions support AT&T Natural Voices, while the Free version does not. Additionally, the Personal version has more powerful functions than the Free one and the Professional version can be used to edit audio files. To find out the details, go to Compare Products.

Please note that in the Free version, only Microsoft Mary voice is available. 

Both the Professional and Personal bundles include 2 AT&T Natural Voices: one male voice such as Natural Mike 16k Voice and one female voice such as Natural Crystal 16k Voice. To listen to AT&T Natural Voices samples, please click here.

Since Windows file size limitation is 3G per file, you can only create an audio file which is smaller than 3G. If the text file is very big, you can convert it by reducing the audio quality. Or, it would be better to split the big file into 2 or more pieces to convert, otherwise, the audio file might be too long to listen to.

Technically, that is no limitation. You can convert a large number of text files to audio files simultaneously. But if one of them is very big, the audio quality will be reduced automatically. Please convert big text files separately.

NaturalReader Professional version only supports SAPI 5 XML controls, such as speaker tag, speed tag, and pause tag. 

NaturalReader can not read PDF files protected by Copy Right. Anyway, you can use the Adobe Reader embedded reading function: go to view->read out aloud.
