I admit the geek in me enjoys the Stephen Hawkings voice style that comes with the free version, but they do have a purchase version with a better voice for those who are interested.
This program is listed as very popular at Tu-Cows, and I understand why. I've already caught a couple of areas to fix on one short story I'm revising.
I figured I would share this with you all, and see if anyone had any feedback or opinions.

I'm not doing the Happy Dance as much now. Not due to any problem with the software, but because of the now ear-numbing errors I've found in some of my older work.
Because I can sit back and listen I've already gotten quite a bit of extra edit progress in today, which is good. The stuff I'm digging up now to run thru is painful in some parts.
One such thing I've found is a POV error and Tense error in the same story. Eegh. Another has a two paragraph long POV change in the middle of the scene as an info dump. That was was from before I had read any books on how to write. Thank goodness for books.
Edited to add: It's not all bad, a couple of stories have come out sounding better than I originally thought they were. Sometimes I impress myself, both in good and bad.

Thanks for the link. This is one of my biggest problems. I tape myself reading and play it back, but I still have difficulty because I catch myself saying what I have in my mind instead of what is on the paper.

I can never get past that Hawking voice... I remember when I got my first computer (an old 286, about 15 years ago) and my brother and I had fun making our computer chant the seven words that Carling tells us can't be used on TV.
So, now, I just start laughing when I hear that voice.
