Now, Microsoft and Apple both offer built-in accessibility tools (I’ll get into that more), making it easy and free to utilize text-to-speech. Using the text-to-speech apps to assist you in writing and editing is just an added bonus!

Yes, the voice is stilted and struggles with intonation but the overall effect is still good. Text-to-speech programs will read text and playback audio using a generated voice. That distance from your work can take a few different forms, but one that is gaining popularity is listening to your work with text-to-speech software. As a writer, you need to create space between the writing frame of mind and the editing frame of mind. Ask any experienced author or editor and they’ll tell you how important it is to be dispassionate when editing.
