•    Use spell checker and tools- Many tools are programs are available on internet which can help you in this case. You can remove spelling errors and grammatical mistakes which you have made.

•    Read loud- Reading loud will activate one more sense of yours- ears. So probability of catching a typo will increase by doing this.

•    Read backward- whenever you read a content by which you are familiar then your mind will automatically remind the next coming word. In that case you will not be able to catch a typo. To avoid this situation you can start reading from backside then it will not be able to imagine the next word.
