I have to admit, I typed the following message, just to hear her say it: "I'm sorry, but the number you are trying to reach is no longer in service. If you feel you have reached this recording in error, please hang up, and try your call again. Goodbye." It was pretty spot-on. I'm thinking of playing it for the next telemarketer that calls. Oh, never mind, it will be a recorded telemarketer... Thanks for visiting, Calisa!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15180941717770336949noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9196474508354380582.post-82948163376925261782013-09-17T15:55:51.063-04:002013-09-17T15:55:51.063-04:00Is this the same read out loud program that pronou...Is this the same read out loud program that pronounces punctuation too? That tongue clicking Klingon garb makes me clench my teeth after the first ten apostrophes, quotes and I won't even attempt to pronounce an exclamation point the way the reader does! lol But it is fun letting it read to you. Thanks for the reminder. I have a novella I'll be reading over soon and this will help. :)Calisa Rhosehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07743891437445099016noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9196474508354380582.post-8572465233573038372013-09-17T13:13:53.574-04:002013-09-17T13:13:53.574-04:00Thanks Callie :) It is a great editing tool--if yo...Thanks Callie :) It is a great editing tool--if you can get past the GPS-like drone. After a while, I don't even notice. And like I said, I always get a giggle out of some of the pronunciations she comes up with!

Reading aloud really helps catch those pesky mistakes. On the advice of an editor, I also read my manuscripts backwards--last page to first page--before submitting. This takes the story out of context, making it easier to find errors. Sometimes I do this aloud, sometimes silently.
