Miscellaneous Tools or Apps
- Natural Reader App - this is an app that uses AI TTS (text-to-speech) to read documents out loud. The voices are very natural and you can follow along on each page in the app. It’s currently the best option for this service that I’ve tried. It is free to download, but you’ll need to upgrade to a paid subscription to read longer texts ($20/mo).
