Do you just navigate by line/sentence/paragraph and review that way? Or do you tend to call speak-rest-of-buffer and then if you find something you want to edit, do an I-search or otherwise page down to get point to the spot you stopped at? Or some other awesome workflow you’d be willing to share? :grin:
