Monolingual target-only read for natural flow 08:32

My "last" step is reading aloud the printed copy, then I may have few or many edits to make. After that, I hit "send'...

185 pages of highly technical stuff?
I run XBench twice with spellchecker and all.

Both check in the CAT tool AND monolingual check 12:50
