[nabop] new braille transcriber with some questions

[Brown, Debbie]

I think I would have someone proofread anything with lots of numbers, and probably any school work.  If the documents are produced locally, I would encourage people to submit their own typed documents.

Subject: [nabop] new braille transcriber with some questions

Hello all.  I just joined this list.  I just took on braille transcribing at the school for the blind where I work.  I'm totally blind and a fluent Braille reader.  I'm taking the Braille Transcription course through NFB.  My question is if there are any totally blind Braille transcribers on list.  I use Kurzweil 1000 to scan documents.  I proofread by listening to them and get someone with vision to proofread before brailling.  My question is this: After scanning do you think that the proofreading process in a scanned document can be done without vision and are there any tips you can give for recognizing those scannoes in a document?  When I listen, I usually use context clues to figure which word may go in the sentence.  Let me know how you all get through the proofreading process.
