You can also select Design Voice to access Voice Design and create a new AI voice, or Explore Voice Library to open the AI Voices hub and discover more voices.
AI Voices Hub
The AI Voices hub lets you discover, browse, and manage AI voices outside your current reading session.
To access it, select AI Voices from the left sidebar, or click Explore Voice Library in the voice selection panel.
The hub is organized into three tabs: Explore, Voice Library, and My Voices, each offering different ways to find and manage voices.
The search bar and language selector remain available across all three tabs.
Search for Voices
Use the search bar to find voices by name or or type, such as "warm," "storyteller," "mature," etc.
Language Selection
Use the language selector to browse voices available in a specific language.
Selecting a Voice
You can preview and select voices directly from the AI Voices hub. When you find a voice you'd like to use, click Use voice. NaturalReader will automatically return you to your current reading with the selected voice ready to use.
Explore
The Explore tab helps you discover new AI voices through curated collections and voice presets. You can browse voices with different characteristics, preview how they sound, or use them as a starting point for creating your own custom voices.
Discover AI Voices
Browse curated voice collections featuring different tones, accents, personalities, and speaking styles. Each voice card includes a description and tags highlighting its characteristics.
Click the Play button to listen to a preview, Use voice to select it for reading, or the heart icon to add it to your favourites.
Voice Presets
Voice presets offer predefined voice characteristics that you can use as-is or customize to suit your preferences.
To customize a preset, click the arrow icon (↗) on its card. This opens the Voice Design panel, where you can modify the voice description and create your own version.
Design Your Own Voice
You can also start from scratch using the Voice Design prompt in the Explore tab.
Describe how you'd like your voice to sound, including characteristics such as accent, tone, age, personality, or speaking style. Your description will be used to begin the Voice Design process.

Voice Library
The Voice Library tab lets you browse NaturalReader's existing Free, Lite, Plus, and Pro AI voices.
Unlike Explore, which focuses on discovering and creating designed voices, Voice Library provides a list of available Free, Lite, Plus, and Pro voices with filters to help you find one that suits your preferences.

Tier: Choose between Pro, Plus, Lite, and Free voices.
