Hi Ramy, Sighted users have an advantage in terms of speed, there's no question about it. Clients often think, "Well, this song is only 5 minutes long so it should only take us 5 minutes of studio time to record it and have a finished product." Needless to say, a lot of people are clueless about such things. You need to determine your rate for editing and sometimes you win, sometimes you lose. If the voice talent is particularly problematic in terms of not being able to read long passages, you might need to cut your losses and insist on a different reader or just step away from the project. There's no easy solution. You have to approach it from a common sense perspective. You will always take longer to do something as compared to a sighted user. If there is a producer or if the narrator is the client, you'll have to sit there with them and edit. They will see how long it takes. You'll probably have to charge a competitive price even though it might take you longer to perform the tasks than a sighted person. Those are the breaks. It sucks to be blind, no question, but you have to do what you have to do. Two cents, Slau
