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.
