The package description for autotalent contains a trivial grammatical
error.

(So far so good... note that the user is consistently being addressed
as "you".)

"Sung by voice" is a bit unidiomatic - after all, singing is always
"by voice". The simplest fix is to drop those two words.

Referring to the user as "one" is oddly formal English when it's
surrounded by examples of referring to the user as "you"; and then it
leads to an unnecessarily gender-biassed use of "he" and a verb
agreement error, "can expects". Make this "As long as you give it
[...], you can usually expect [...]".

All fine.
