Get all your reading done twice as fast with this technology

Dear Reader,
As business owners and professionals, it’s essential for us to keep up with industry trends as part of our professional development.

Imagine…

You don’t have to be stuck at your desk reading on your laptop OR reading on the go using your small devices while straining your eyes.

You’re free to move about— work around office, exercise, and jog during your lunch break, or do anything you want.

While you have someone available to read to you any content, digital or in-print, anytime.

The above scenario could be nice but I suppose it could be quite costly to hire someone as a reader on demand.

And the good news is you can do this without having to hire anyone. Here’s how…

New technology tools help us work better and faster. Start using your time even more efficiently.

Text to Speech (TTS) technology helps us convert digital and even print text to audio and listen to it on the smallest of devices.

No more reading content with tiny font on tiny screens.

TTS technology offers an array of useful applications:

• Increase your productivity— listen to your reading while doing something else
• Reduce the strain on your eyes – you’ll give your eyes a rest time from staring at digital devices
• Allow for a different perspective on writing  — when reviewing and editing your own writing
• Have your own proofreader – use this technology to eliminate the need and the cost of someone else proofreading your content (for writers)
• Reduce paper use – you won’t need to print digital text for reading

The reader voices for TTS software continue to improve to become more natural with the appropriate inflections.

With some TTS software, you can change speaker (male or female), change speaker’s accent (American English or British English), change the speech speed, or reader’s language.

With a reasonable one-time investment, you can enjoy having a personal reader at your disposal anytime.

Listen to all your digital and in-print content such as white papers, special reports, eBooks and more.

Now, get all your reading done twice as fast with these TTS technology softwares.

There are several companies offering TTS technology software solutions.

NaturalReader is one of the companies that brings TTS technology to the market with affordable and easy to use software.

NaturalReader can help you listen to any e-book or e-textbooks from any vendor. You’re able to change speaker (male or female), change speaker’s accent (American English or British English).

On top of all this, NaturalReader provides on-line help using “Chat” from the support team help.
