You can try creating a thread and see if someone knows. I can’t seem to remember, but there should be one out there that also gives out editing tips.

What I can suggest though is to use an audio reader. Copy and paste your work into it, and let it read back your work to you. This is a great way to spot out mistakes, as well improve the flow amongst other things. One more thing as well, when it comes down to really editing your work. Start from line one, and carefully read through it. Then the audio reader for the confirmation.

You should be able to use word to enable the read out loud feature. There used to be an app available, but I believe it has been taken down.
