As part of my job I proofread dictation on a daily basis for typos, grammar, etc. Any thoughts/suggestions on using PR for this? Does anybody use PR to review dictation?

Thanks,

Jeff

Proofreading requires a keen eye in viewing each word, carefully and individually, as well as phrases and sentences for structure and grammar. You'll miss the typos when you quickly view text as your mind will fill in what it expects to find.

You can spot grammar errors this way (they stand out to a trained eye), but overall I don't believe Photoreading would be appropriate for proofreading.

Actually, PhotoReading is superb for proofreaders.

Like walking through a field with soft gaze, the four leaf clovers just jump out at you as will typos from the page.

The brain is amazing.
