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

[Jen]

Karl, I just wanted to add to your post...

Both grammar and spell check are accessible, as Word is set to check grammar
with spelling; however grammar and spell check don't catch everything, and
sometimes, they flag things that are okay. This happens to me often as a
medical transcription student, as many of the reports have sentence
fragments and, as a medical transcriptionist, you are not to change their
sentences.

If you know you have this problem, try reading sentence by sentence, instead
of reading continuously from the curser or by paragraph; if the screen
reader reads you a sentence that doesn't include a subject and predicate,
you'll know to fix it. You may also set your screen reader to read more
punctuation so you know where the periods, commas and semicolons are when
you're listening to what you've written. I don't use Word, but its grammar
check should also catch this if it's accessible.

HTH,
Karl

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,
