[nabs-l] writing and incomplete sentences, and other problems

Hi Aaron,

I have had this happen to me, except I have had two problems. One is
incomplete ideas, the other is not giving the reader transitions to the next
idea ... which I have in my head! For the incomplete ideas and "transitional
device" problems, I talk out what I want to say to the person proofreading
my work, then I write down what I said. When I proofread with JAWS, I read
line by line. To read the current sentence, press Alt and Num Pad 5
together; this way, you can hear if the sentence is incomplete or not. I
also use spell check; press F7 to do this, and make sure you are at the top
of the document. You can also control what punctuation JAWS speaks; if you
want tips on this, e-mail me off-list (this post is getting way too long
already, ha.)

I hope this helps.

Jen

Hey guys,

Do any of you have this problem? You are writing say a blog post, research
paper, book, etc. You look over the document and the flow is good and
everything sounds good to you. However, when you let someone else look at it
they see incomplete sentences among other things. How do you guys work
around this? Are there any accessible tools that will help with these
issues? How do you go about proofreading with a screen reader?

 

Thanks,
