Folks FYI: I am working with Pratheek to set up a live webcast of the
session which can be heard by everyone. Questions and clarifications can be
sought by chat mode. Pratheek is setting up a server for this and all the
software operation needed for the webcast happens from my end. Listeners
have to open the site and let the audio stream come through. Hope this
arrangement is fine with all of you. As I said, I shall share with you all
some documents which we may work on. I shall deal with the following topics:


1. Proof reading
2. Editing and rewriting
3. content and style
4. Descriptive and informative writing
5. Report and narratives 

Hope this too is ok.

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

Re: [AI] Seeking techniques for proof reading text

2010-05-21 Thread prateek aggarwal
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.

2010-05-21 Thread Amar Jain

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.

Listeners have to open the site and let the audio stream come through. 
Hope this arrangement is fine with all of you. As I said, I shall share 
with you all some documents which we may work on. I shall deal with the 
following topics:


1. Proof reading
2. Editing and rewriting
3. content and style
4. Descriptive and informative writing
5. Report and narratives

Hope this too is ok.

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.

 Hi all,

 What techniques do you use to proof read text? 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.

Re: [AI] Seeking techniques for proof reading text

2010-05-02 Thread Subramani L
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.

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.

Hi all,

What techniques do you use to proof read text? 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

Hello,
For cap announcement, you can set to play sound, which will be less
irritating.
To do that, Go to JAWS  Utility Menu  configuration manager  Set Options
Menu  Speech and Sound Manager  Edit Current Scheme  Misc Tab Page, there
in the list select cap and then tab to the set of radio choices and select
Play Sound. The next button will allow you to select WAVE file to be
played.

I suggest to create a new sound scheme to be used for proof reading, you can
customize many options by using this method.

Thanks
Mukesh

doesn't using pitch to distinguish caps help you?
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.

You will have to use a different technique to do this. Since I edit
(which also includes proof reading), I can share a few tips with you off
the list.

Hi all,

What techniques do you use to proof read text? 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.

Re: [AI] Seeking techniques for proof reading text

2010-04-29 Thread Geetha Shamanna
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.

Hi,
I do a lot of writing work, too, and it naturally involves editing 
and proof reading as well. So kindly share these methods on the 
forum. There may be others who can benefit from these tips.

Thanks and regards,
Sandeep
