Did we miss something on diversity?
Research shows a connection between kids' healthy self-esteem and positive portrayals in media. That's why we've added a new "Diverse Representations" section to our reviews that will be rolling out on an ongoing basis. You can help us help kids by suggesting a diversity update.

What’s It About?
Natural Reader is a downloadable text-to-speech tool for kids who struggle with reading, or simply want text read aloud to them. Once downloaded, you can use it anywhere by simply selecting or copying and pasting text. Natural Reader can read Word files, web pages, pdf files, and emails. There’s a floating toolbar that you can access in any of these applications. In the purchased versions, kids can create mp3 or wav files to listen to study material on the go. Instructions aren’t available within the program, but they’re pretty simple and can be accessed on the website or in a series of YouTube videos.
