One of the best ways to improve writing is to read aloud your essay. ATandT Research Labs has a program that will read aloud for you. The program, called Text to Speech, reads what is written. This is a great tool to use when revising and editing in Writing Workshop.
According to ATandT:
Text-To-Speech, or TTS for short, is computer software that converts text into audible speech. You can try it yourself on our demo page. See our Home page for more information.
All you have to do is type or paste your writing into the text box (step 2) and click on the Speak button. To try it, just go to here.

this helps alot
I thought it was cool to have headphones and then you could listen to what you have rote
I think Text-to-Speech really helps a lot. I think students will do a lot better in Language Arts work with Text-to-Speech.
Hey anonymous,
Hopefully it will help you when you write something like, "listen to what you have rote." Maybe it will not sound right to you and you will change it to, "listen to what you have written."
THIS HELPS A LITTLE BIT
I thought it was cool to have a text to speech thing because you can hear your writing and you can also bring up your grade by listing to what you have wrote. the first time I did it I was kinda excited because when I turned in my writing project I got a 2 and that brought my grade in writing to a B. I was happy and so was my dad.
It helps a little.
I like dogs
I think that hear what you write is really important. The reason I said that is that kids might do better than they did before Text-to-Sheech.
