Author Resource: Get Smart Audio Readings with Natural Reader 🎧

Quote by Sarah Dressen- Don't think and judge, just listen

Text-to-speech applications are useful, especially in a world of excessive screen time.  Great for dyslexic learners, foreign language students and working professionals.

Writers can miss mistakes even after multiple edits. Reading out loud is a great way to pick up errors and that’s where an application like Natural Reader comes in.
