For Warriors Who Prefer to Listen Than Read

I got a refund request for a product because the customer couldn't highlight the text. I wondered why he'd need to but he mentioned he can't use it with his Natural Reader.

Text to speech software with Natural Voices-- Free NaturalReader (no aff link - it's a free download anyway)

I thought it was kind of cool. I'm no listener - but if I was, this might come in handy if a text only product was listed.

    Thanks. That's really good. The sound from the "reader" built into Adobe Reader is awful for reading .pdf files.

    Natural Reader almost sound real.

    Good find!

    I have close friend who happens to be dislexic. He learns quickly when it is in an audio format for him to hear, but watching him read is almost painful. He has to slowly sound out each word.

    This will help him with .pdf ebooks.

    Thank you again.

    Hey, thanks. I'm thinking about converting my written articles into audios for podcasting in the future, and I've been looking for this sort of thing (since I don't have the best radio voice in the world).

    Thanks for the tip Tiffany. I really like text to voice applications...although the ones I've used sound pretty robotic. This one looks good.
    Cheers,
    Laynee

      Well thanks for this Tiffany, it's a lot better than I thought it would be and I have only tried the free version.

      It's not of broadcast quality, but nevertheless, I can think of a number of very good uses for it.

      Many thanks for sharing.

      Regards,
      Jeff.

    Good tip Tiffany, could also be used to listen to new information while driving, flying etc. so that we can spend more time actually building a business and less time reading about how to do it. My tip to newbies (and others) is that it's important to get the right balance between learning and doing.
