Slow Words

We're getting so close to the release of Rendersella. Earlier this week, I was finishing up my final read-through. After reading this story so many times, it's hard to catch mistakes because I'm so familiar with what the story says in my head. That can be a problem when you're trying to make a novel as perfect as you can.
That's why I bring in some help. Not a person. I've already had help from other people. Nope. This is when I let my computer read to me. Does it sound like a normal voice? Not the free program I use. In some ways, that helps too. Because the strange pronunciations and pauses can bring your attention to things you might not notice otherwise.
But there's something else too.
I read fast. We're talking several books a week. But I can't read fast when I read this way. The computer has a set speed and it's not my normal one. I'm forced to slow down and really pay attention.
Does it mean I catch everything?
Probably not. But I definitely catch more.
Are there other areas in my life where I probably need to slow down and pay more attention? Most definitely. Because even outside of final edits, there's always somewhere I need to watch for mistakes.
What about you? Do you have something that can help you slow down and catch things? Did you know authors often read their books out loud (or have them read out loud, in my case)?
