Hi Stephanie!Listening might help you find a scano you might overlook while reading. It's just a way to double check your work.

You know I never thought about listening to the file while proofreading. I do have a text program. Hmmm I'm using Text speaker 3.1.Kim Friedman wrote:Hi, Stephanie, Kim here. Welcome to the merry gang. First, how are you proofreading your book? Are you using a Braille display or just listening to your screen reader read the text for you or both (in my case both)? There are proofreaders who use Kurzweil or Open Book to proofread their books while others use Microsoft Word to do it. So you can open your document in Word, or at least, that's what I gather. Regards, Kim Friedman. P.S.: Do not be shy about asking questions. There are good proofreaders on this list who will be glad to help you out should you need it. I'll give you a tip that somebody passed along to me. When you download your book, make a copy of it and work on the copy rather than the original file in case you mess up. (you can do the reverse, i.e., work on the original file while keeping a clean (unworked-on) copy of the file. This will save you a lot of grief.
