When your spell checker is not enough

ReadPlease may be used to proofread your work.  Proofreading from a computer screen is next to impossible.  You may be surprised at the errors you will "hear" but do not "see". If you are like most people, it is harder to proofread your own work - so try using ReadPlease next time to do a final proofread.

Take this test

Press PAUSE and just read over the following sentences to see if you can spot the errors.

After you are finished reading press PLAY and see if you can hear the errors.

Microsoft Word's spell checker reported no errors - but there are several.

Note that for proofreading, you may want to slow down the ReadPlease voices for best results.

It was the President coat that was lost at sea.

I was sure that I put the coat in you car.

The quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dug.

Thanks for you message.  For the time being we have decided not to expend our service to included hard product fulfillment at this time.

Should we decide add this in the future, we will let you know.

Here are the corrections:

It was the President coat that was lost at sea.
(missing apostrophe "s", as in President's coat - did you hear it?)

I was sure that I put the coat in you car.
(that should be "your" coat, not "you" - did you hear it?)

The quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dug.
(that was "dug" - should be "dog")

Thanks for you message.  For the time being we have decided not to expense our service to included hard product fulfillment at this time.
(did you hear "you", should be "your", "included" should be "include", and "expense" should be "expand")

Should we decide add this in the future, we will let you know.  
(there was a missing "to" there, like "Should we decide to add this in the future")
