Listen back: hear what your eyes skip
3 min read
You have read your own draft so many times that your eyes stop seeing it. They skim, they autocorrect, they forgive. Your ears do not. Listen back reads your draft aloud so the problems you have been reading past finally land.
Why editing by ear works
Read a sentence out loud and the trouble shows up on its own. A clunky line makes you stumble. A word you used three times in a paragraph starts to ring. An awkward rhythm drags. Listen back gives you that read for the whole draft, without you having to voice every line yourself.
The voice that reads it
A built-in voice works for free, so you can start listening right away with nothing to set up. If you want a warmer, more natural read, connect your own ElevenLabs key and pick from premium voices instead.
Tip. Once you have listened through a section, try Table read next: it gives each character a different voice, so weak dialogue stands out even more.
