Writer Lawyer Tip: Great Find - Natural Reader

I use Natural Reader all the time. I use the free version, with the voice that is far from human-sounding. In fact, it sounds so much like HAL that I am always tempted to type the lyrics to "A Bicycle Built for Two" just for a grin ....

Remember that scene from the movie? Dave ... what are you doing, Dave ....

Okay, fine. Look, Natural Reader gives a final, verbal edit before I send the draft out. It's a big help, and I thought I'd share that with you today.

  1. Thanks. I wasn't aware of this rather obvious feature.

  2. Hi Tom,
    Thanks for writing! Since I initially wrote this post, the free version of Natural Reader has been improved. Now, you can actually have a sorta human voice (male or female) read your text back to you. And, at different speeds.

    Great fun and very helpful.

    Thanks again for writing!
