Definitely going to take this with me. I often catch myself when I feel like I sent something that sounded cold, even though I didn't mean it that way and go back and edit it.

But I didn't realize I could use this strategy for it. Thanks, Wes! 🙏

If you want an actual robot voice, MS Word has a 'Read Aloud' function - it's on the Review tab on the ribbon, or just right-click where you want it to start reading from. Not only is it very useful for assessing tone, but a clunky sentence stands out a mile when a robot is reading it to you too!
