Likewise. Except on the Stream, I make notes with the page number. I can even catch most of the punctuation problems that don't show up in ranked spelling either. The only thing this leaves out is those very rare occasions where the page doesn't paragraph right, and I can't think of any way of fixing those that won't drive me crazy.
Ideas, anyone?----- Original Message ----- From: "Monica Willyard" <rhyami@xxxxxxxxx>

Darrell, I can see that you haven't been shown how those of us with portable devices validate. (smile) I should have been more clear in my first message. Maybe this will help you save some time if you own a Stream or Book Port. I do the basics like strip headers, run rank spelling, and fix page numbers on the desktop computer. Then I load the file onto my Book Port and read the book through while I'm doing things like washing dishes or taking a walk outside. I read the book I'm working on with my Book Port, making a bookmark where I find an error. Once I'm back at the PC, I use those bookmarks to quickly help me find the text that needs to be fixed in the file on my computer. I fix those errors in about five minutes and upload the book to Bookshare. This process sounds more involved than it actually is. I like the freedom to move around while reading. My desktop PC is in my bedroom, and I feel restless when I have to just sit still and listen to the book to catch scannos that don't show up on rank spelling. With using my Book Port, I do a faster, better job of validating because I read every page now instead of just doing a spellcheck and spot checking the text. I actually catch errors like me where it should say the, something that rank spelling won't flag. I hope this helps. If I can clarify this in any way, please let me know. -- Monica Willyard Visit my blog at http://www.scannersguild.com To unsubscribe from this list send a blank Email to bksvol-discuss-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxxput the word 'unsubscribe' by itself in the subject line.
