Get the same features as NaturalReader, plus so much more. All of Murf's key features can be customized to meet any content requirement. No third-party tool required.

Why is Murf the best alternative to Natural Readers?

Going beyond being a simple Text to speech tool, Murf revolutionizes the way you create and edit voiceovers. It serves as a high-quality, low-cost option for creating natural-sounding voiceover narrations for a variety of uses.

Convert your raw recording to professional quality

Does your recorded voiceover have background noise? With Murf’s voice changer, you can transform your recorded audio into a studio-quality AI voice with zero noise. With the click of a button, achieve professional quality audio without expensive recording equipment, studio, or a silent room.

Whereas, Natural Readers doesn’t support the ability for the user to upload a voice recording to its platform.

Add value by adding images and videos to your voiceover

Murf enables you to get the perfectly stitched voice over video by enabling you to match your text blocks with your visuals, in minutes. Attain that ideal video timing by simply uploading your videos or photos and altering the timing using the blocks in the Studio’s bottom timeline.

Natural Readers, on the other hand, is a simple text to speech tool that enables you to upload your text and documents and convert them to mp3 format to listen, anywhere and at anytime. It doesn’t allow users to add music or image or video to its text block.

Create a spot-on match of the voice you like

Unlike Natural Readers text to speech, Murf offers voice cloning services that users can leverage to generate an AI voice clone that delivers life-like diction and the full spectrum of human emotion while conveying all the nuances of human speech.

Get more, pay less

With Murf, you get access to all the features Natural Reader has and more. You acquire superior quality at an affordable price. Natural Readers individual plan costs a whooping $99/month for a monthy subscription. Whereas Murf’s creator plan only costs $29/month for a monthy subscription. If this dip in price doesn’t steer you in the direction of Murf, we don’t know what will.

Murf Vs Natural Readers: Comparing Core Facets

In essence, Murf Studio and Natural Readers are both Text to speech tools that eliminate the strenuous and time-consuming process of manually creating voiceovers. They take away the need to hire voice actors, rent a studio, invest in expensive recording equipment, and make it easier for creators to generate voiceovers in a variety of formats, including podcasts, audio/video commercials, corporate training films, webinars, online coursework and more.

Take a look at some of the common features offered by both these AI platforms and the differences in their functionality.

Pronunciation editor

Both Murf and Natural Readers have a special feature that enables users to fine-tune pronunciation issues using word substitution or phonetic spelling. However, the pronunciation editor in NaturalReader’s studio is case-sensitive, which means you should add an additional entry if needed so that the edit applies to both capitalized and non-capitalized versions of a given word. With Murf’s pronunciation feature, you can either spell out the word or use IPA Phonemes to arrive at an accurate pronunciation.

Real-time team collaboration

NaturalReader as well as Murf have Team plans that support multiple users. While Natural Readers Team license permits up to 4 users at a time, Murf’s Enterprise plan allows over 5 users to share, view or edit team projects, create new Workspaces, and manage projects within that.

Commercial rights to use voices

Murf provides its users with the commercial rights to use the voiceovers generated on the platform for videos on YouTube or any other channel. Natural Readers, on the other hand, offers what is known as Natural Readers Commercial which allows you to use the application and voices for commercial or public use and any redistribution purposes. This includes, but is not limited, to YouTube videos, public announcements, broadcasts, e-Learning, and IVR or voice messaging.

Without doubt, Murf Studio and Natural Readers are both voiceover software that do virtually the same thing: convert text to speech. Yet, you can’t ignore the limitations that Natural Readers has, whether it is the hefty price, lack of features like voice cloning and voice changer, or the ability to add media to the voiceover and sync them together. These limitations can create gaps in your voiceover workflow. And that is where Murf comes in, offering you the best of both worlds.
