A beta reader (or betareader, or beta) is a person who reads a work of fiction with a critical eye, with the aim of improving grammar, spelling, characterization, and general style of a story prior to its release to the general public.
The term "beta" is an appropriation from the software industry which uses the terms alpha and beta for software that are internal works in progress, and publically released tests, respectively (though a beta may still be tested internally).
A beta reader, who may or may not be known to the author, can serve as proofreader, of spelling and grammar errors, or as a traditional editor, working on the "flow" of prose.
