Accessibility/Focus Features in NaturalReader

Turn on Captions

To minimize distractions as you read, click the "cc" button on the top right. A shaded bar appears at the bottom of the screen, and the text appears sentence by sentence as you listen to it.

Activate Dark Mode

If black type against a white screen hurts your eyes, just turn on dark mode.

Click the three dots in the top right of the screen.
Click the Dark Mode icon to toggle it on (looks like a sun).

The NaturalReader Plus Toolbar

Starting on the left, here's a description of each icon in the toolbar.

Click the Plus icon to upload a file - NaturalReader Online Premium can read practically anything that has text in it (Word .doc, text file, PDF, ePub file...).
Click the blue Play button to listen to your reading.
Click the MP3 icon to have the file you uploaded converted to an audio file. (You can listen to your MP3 files online, or download them - they're available via the Documents and Audio link in the "More" sidebar.)
Click the "listening person" icon to change the voice.
Click the "clock" icon to change the speed.
Click the Gear icon to access all settings.

The NaturalReader Plus "More" Sidebar

"Documents and Audio" lets you choose another document, or select an MP3 to download and play.
"Pronunciation Editor" lets you enter unusual words (like names) and specify how they should be pronounced.
"Reset Reader" is pretty important! Sometimes NaturalReader Online gets stuck in a loop - it will keep reading the same text, or the reading display at the bottom of the page won't keep up with the text being read. Click "Reset Reader" to fix the problem.
"Install App & Extension" gives you a quick and convenient way to add the NaturalReader browser extension to Chrome, download the iPhone and Android apps, and add an icon to your desktop that opens your browser and launches NaturalReader automatically when clicked.
