Re: [AI] Seeking techniques for proof reading text
Perfect suggestion Prashant sir. I have no knowledge of it, but can't we cover the same in this session itself? I mean is it lengthy topic? I would love to attend such sessions so no problems if we get lot many sessions on such important subjects. It will also help us when we go for placement. And even if we forget placement and all important maers, then also in general way we must have knowledge of it because we are in a way good users of computer but lack in terms of formatting, printing etc. I remember my days of first semester when perhaps I did not realize that I should align date etc when writing letters. And strangely I knew the format of letter in Braille. Spacing also is very important in document / mail. Attend friends as many as you can, and contribute experts as much as you can. That's all I can say. After all we are here for this only. I extend my congratulations thanks and everything to Subramani sir for this wonderful initiative and for taking pain. Also to Prashant sir for this great ideas. Thanks to all who are part of this topic directly indirectly.

Re: [AI] Seeking techniques for proof reading text
I think having such a session on skype is not a very good option. Skkype needs higher bandwidth, and issues like voice fluctuation, call disconnection etc are very general with it. I’ve seen a suggestion about doing it on bharat café or other similar places, but at least in case of bharat cafe, it’s difficult for anyone to have a new account there. It seeks your ISP provided e-mail ID and verifies it. As per I know, it does not accept the public e-mail services as gmail, yahoo, rediff or so on. Usually it takes 48 to 72 hours to have an account there. I can set up an online streaming which will enable almost everyone to log on to a website and it will start playing in their favorite media player as soon as they will hit enter. Those who have questions can chat their queries which can then be answered. One can understand it like a radio show where listeners can listen wherever they want and contact the station and/or RJ in case they want to get in touch. This will give chance to a number of folks to listen and enjoy. Since a number of folks may be benefited by it, we can have such a session if you order. Here, I’d like to tell that having such a stream requires streaming softwares which should be installed in the computer of the person who is conducting the session. a bit of expertise or at least a one time hand-on on the software is appreciated. Listeners do not require any additional software though. I can work in this context according to your instructions. regards, Prateek agarwal. Skype: Prateek_agarwal32 Wanna see inside me?

Re: [AI] Seeking techniques for proof reading text
Sir, If number of persons increase then better to host it on some other client like bharat café etc because on skype conference hosting with so many users can be problem. Techno experts please correct me if I am wrong/ I don't know any way of joining two or more conferences with different hosts. and for one person to host a conference will require superb connection.

Re: [AI] Seeking techniques for proof reading text
1. As a thumb rule, please read same sounding words letter by letter. 2. When you come across the word first time, it is important to read them letter by letter. This would solve most of the mistakes we do with them. 3. If you were to type an unknown word, either find it by search or put it in dictionary.com. 4. The speed of reading a 250 word document may vary from 10 to 15 minutes depending on your ability to recognise things first time. But accuracy should never be compromised for speed. 5. Pl spell check, but don't trust it. In the middle of spell checking, it is important to read the original word before replacing it with the suggestion given by MS Word. 6. If you do not understand the document, especially when you are not wearing a head phone, increasing the volume helps some times. You may even reduce the reading speed of your screen reader and adjust it back to the original speed you had set up once the sentence or word becomes clear. 7. If you need to change a sentence, it is always better to copy paste it in an empty document and paste it back to the original to avoid cutting good sentences by mistake. 8. I feel it is also important to have the best focus possible when you do proof reading or editing. If distractions are too much, surely you are bound to miss or mistake things. 9. Re read the documents as much as you can. This would help you refine a few things and would help you ensure you don't send a haphazard work. 10. Know something about the subject if you can. This would prepare you for the kinds of words you may come across. Some people give glossary of terms used, which would come handy. Of course, this is a good chance for you to learn about subjects which you may not have understood or read about before. Remove the mental fret and fear about dealing with documents you may not have any idea. The task here is to read and see if it conveys things properly. That is the best a proof reader can do.

Back in the day when I used to do a lot of proof reading as an editor for technical documents, I had set up pitch for caps during continuous reading and "say cap" during word by word and character navigation. I don't necessarily remember how I set it up or if this can be done with the latest versions. Also, the pitch is slightly more distinct with eloquence than with espeak where everything sounds the same to me. -Manish -Original Message- From: accessindia-boun...@accessindia.org.in [mailto:accessindia-boun...@accessindia.org.in] On Behalf Of Geetha Shamanna Sent: Friday, April 30, 2010 1:44 PM To: accessindia@accessindia.org.in Subject: Re: [AI] Seeking techniques for proof reading text Thank you, will try that out.
