[blindlaw] Blue Booking

[denise avant]

JAWs has a feature called text analyzer which is helpful. But I would say having a proofreader is wise for lawyers in general

While doable, I find this to be a very slow and arduous process, and much like ensuring formatting of documents, it's hard for me to be sure that I've really caught everything.  Also much like formatting documents, this is one area in which I think it's wise policy to have a sighted party perform a final review.  But I just wondered if any of you screen-reader users had any suggestions for how to review citations in a more efficient manner.  I find that having to ensure that every space, comma and period is in is proper place, that all fonts are correct, to check all this stuff by nonvisual means is just an extremely inefficient use of time.
