Just click the Play icon and you will hear your selected text read aloud immediately. Checking for spelling or grammar errors is just as easy, and the results will show up in no time on a small window, along with suggestions. If you have to write, but you're not confided in your spelling skills, you can turn to the application's dictation tool and simply speak into a microphone.

The application is capable of reading text from anywhere, including text editors and web browsers. If you need to read text from an image, you can use the software's selection tool to capture the text and have it read aloud.

For example, you can have it read your text as you type it, pop up a dictionary, and do other things that will help you read and write.
