For those of you who have already heard of WordTalk...feel free to move along. For those of you who haven't, read on:

The University of Edinburgh has a free program called "WordTalk" that will read a file written in Microsoft Word aloud to you. To hear something read aloud to you helps you find a lot of mistakes you can't see because if you are like me, what you read is not always what is on the paper. It's helping me find boo-boos even a professional proofreader missed! And the best part is it's free!
