Hi Pranav and all, As a translator, I am expected to proofread translated documents all the time. While the spellcheck feature of Word tracks down most of the spelling errors and spacing inconsistencies, the biggest difficulty I encounter when proofreading with the help of a screen reader relates to tracking down inappropriate/inadvertent capitalisation. Turning on Jaws' capitalisation announcement feature can solve the problem, but this can be grating on the ears. I am yet to find a speech-based solution to this problem.

Do you use audio or Braille? I am in a situation where I need to produce perfect text. I cannot afford even a single error. I use a screen reader namely Jaws for Windows. I do most of my writing in Microsoft Word so use the spelling and grammar checker that comes with Microsoft Office. I also review my documents using speech but I am liable to miss things especially if two words sound alike.
