How to cancel NaturalReader

If you feel like the NaturalReader software isn't for you, the logical next step is to cancel it. The question is—how? While the platform might offer a simple way to unsubscribe, its refund policy has a few caveats.

This article will show you how to cancel NaturalReader and get your funds back without hassle. But first, let's dive a bit deeper into the app itself.

What is NaturalReader

NaturalReader by NaturalSoft is a text to speech (TTS) platform that lets you convert written text into audio. It's subscription-based, so you'll have to pay if you want to take full advantage of the software's features.

It does come with a free plan, though it's not very useful to many users. The main reason is the limited number of free voices. You'll need to go with a higher-tier subscription plan to get unlimited access to natural-sounding voices and features like MP3 conversion.

It's worth mentioning that NaturalReader offers a web app, NaturalReader Online, and downloadable software for Microsoft Windows and Mac devices through NaturalReader Software. There are no iOS or Android apps, so you'll need a desktop or laptop computer to use either option.

NaturalReader Online offers monthly plans, while the NaturalReader Software requires a one-time payment. Here's a breakdown of the pricing:

NaturalReader Online:

• Free plan
• Premium plan — $9.99/month
• Plus plan — $19.99/month

NaturalReader Software (one-time payments):

• Free
• Personal — $99.50
• Professional — $129.50
• Ultimate — $199.50

The NaturalReader Professional plan seems to offer the highest value for money as it gives access to many features that will satisfy average to more demanding users:

• Four high-quality premium voices
• Pronunciation editor
• MP3 conversions
• Online reader
• Conversion of text from Word, HTML, TXT, and PDF files

Still, you might find it's not worth the money. This is especially true since some of the best features like OCR are only available in the Ultimate version. It comes at a significant price, and not many users are willing to pay that much for a TTS platform.

If you're unhappy with NaturalReader or some of its features, you can cancel your subscription anytime.

Why cancel NaturalReader?

The most obvious reason to cancel your NaturalReader subscription is if you’re not using it often enough. You may also find the program limiting that you can't use the Software version on your iPhone or iPad, but have to be tied to your desktop instead or use NaturalReader Online through a browser on a computer.

Plus, you might not be using all of the features that come with the subscription. Perhaps you've found a better, cheaper alternative that offers everything you need without unnecessary extras.

Either way, canceling your NaturalReader subscription is a quick process. Let's have a closer look at how it works.

Cancelling a NaturalReader subscription—step-by-step

Unless you cancel a subscription, NaturalReader will auto-renew at the end of each billing period. To stop the payments, follow these steps:

1. Go to https://www.naturalreaders.com and log into your account.
2. Click the "More" button in the upper-right corner, then go to Billing Information. On a mobile device, you'll find a three-line button instead of "More."
3. Here, you'll see your payment information. Click "Cancel Subscription," and the paid service will expire before the next renewal date.

Here's the trick—unsubscribing from NaturalReader Online only cancels the subscription to this version, not all of them. If you have a NaturalReader Commercial subscription, you'll have to log in separately and follow the above steps.

Plus, canceling your subscription won't automatically get you a refund. Instead, you need to manually request a refund. You can do so through the website's help system up to 14 days after the renewal date on a monthly plan. If you're on a yearly plan, the time window to request a refund is 30 days.

As you can see, you'll have to read the fine print to ensure you unsubscribe from all NaturalReader services and get a refund. Once you've done so, perhaps you'd like to explore another text to speech solution that offers better TTS features than NaturalReader for a more affordable price.

Speechify—The perfect alternative

If NaturalReader isn't for you, Speechify is a great alternative. It's a more than capable text to speech app that lets you create audio files from any text both online or offline. Instead of just scanning digital text or webpages, Speechify also lets you scan physical documents and turn them into high-quality audio.
