I sometimes have to hear someone else read a scene for me to notice things that need to be changed, added, and taken away. By having this feature, I don't have to find someone else to read it to me.

Chet SandbergI use this in my editing process. On a Mac, I can do it on the web version of Dabble, but it's fiddly and doesn't easily let me start or stop at a particular place. What we really need is a TtS that highlights each word as it's read so as to easily find homonym errors or missing words our brains THINK are there.

KeiraBig plus to this. I use Word's text-to-speech feature all the time to help me verify that the text sounds right.

Nancy Rdz LL MergedTo allow us to voice record our stories in audio so readers can have the option to listen and not read. With our own voices if we choose and with AI option as well for those not comfortable with their own voice. Not all places have their own voice audio option it's always AI and it doesn't give the same feel of the story the way it should be, (like a horror story) with a robot voice. This will attract more people to your writing site.

Joe Johnson MergedAdd a feature that reads your work aloud so you can hear how it flows. It also helps with proofreading, as sometimes the mind sees what it wants and overlooks issues.
