How to be a black belt validater?This is an excellent suggestion Kaitlyn.
I would like to see something about necessary tools and preferred tools.
For example, is ms word a necessary tool? or is Kurzweil preferred over
Openbook? Can a validator validate properly using only a notetaker?
I realize that this would be a difficult section because we all, obviously,
prefer the tools we have on hand, and the prices for adaptive technology
prohibit us from buying a whole new bunch of tools just because it seems that
these are the preferred method.
However, a person couldn't validate using only a text editor with a spell
checker because page numbers wouldn't be maintained. I suspect that most of the
early books into the collection were submitted using only a text editor.
However, if a new volunteer wanted to use a text editor to validate a book
they'd be out of luck.
Thanks.
Bob

Ok, I am wondering if we can put together a list of things a validater
can/should do to make a book a really good one for the collection. This is a
sort of companion thread for the older one about being a black belt submitter..
What are some things which a validater should always do, what are things which
are extras, according to bookshare's requirements, but which could really
improve the book for the collection?
Maybe an experienced validater could give an example of what they do with a
book from downloading it off step one to uploading it for publication..
Thanks,
Caitlyn
