Writing emails with dyslexia
Never write in the message box. Draft in a document, read it back with text-to-speech, then paste and send. Spellcheck cannot catch a correctly spelled wrong word — form, from, their, there — and hearing it aloud catches nearly all of them.
Why text-to-speech is the one that matters
The errors that survive proofreading are real words in the wrong place. Your eye supplies the word you meant, every time you read it.
Your ear does not. A sentence read aloud by a machine is the first time you hear what you actually wrote.

Draft somewhere with no send button
The message box invites sending before it is finished, and it is where the accidental early send happens.
A document also lets you change the font and spacing to whatever you read most easily, which most mail clients will not.

Say it before you write it
Dictate the message as if you were talking to the person, then tidy. Getting the content out by speaking is much faster and the result usually reads warmer.

Stop re-reading short messages
Two passes, then send. A third pass on a three-line message is anxiety, not proofreading, and it is a real daily cost.
The signature line, if you use one, exists precisely so that this pass can stop.

Long or important ones
Ask someone to read it. That is what colleagues are for and people are almost always glad to be asked.
