Hi you guys!! Before I started running into computer problems, I stumbled across this program that can help us authors edit our stories! Sometimes finding a beta is difficult, and as we all know, an extra set of eyes can help a lot in the way of catching stupid mistakes.
Well, I found this program called
Natural Reader There is a paid version, but I have been using the Free version. Once you download it, open the program and minimize it. A small mini bar will appear at the top of your screen. There is a play button, stop button, and an MP3 button on the small floating bar.
Then, simply open the document you want to edit, hightlight the text and press the play button and the program will read what you wrote back to you. It may not catch a lot of grammar mistakes, but it can catch those stupid little mistakes we sometimes make, like an extra word left by changing a sentence. It can also let you hear how well your sentences flow and allow you to make changes so that your readers will have a better understanding of what is happening.
It's a pretty helpful program if you ask me. Hope some of you find it helpful as well!
