> 2. Proofreader for AMAC Accessibility/Braille Unit (Temporary position) The role of a proofreader is to verify that transcribed braille material is complete and accurate. Working within the Production Department, a proofreader ensures that braille observes AMAC's standards for the highest quality and follows BANA guidelines for transcription and formatting. A proofreader confirms that the braille is a direct representation of the print text, and the hard copy braille is clear, well-formed, and properly bound. A proofreader is detail-oriented, organized, logical, and possesses excellent concentration. He/she understands the subtleties of guideline application, considers the end reader as well as the needs of the client, and makes decisions expeditiously to complete an assignment. Ultimately, it is the responsibility of a proofreader to ensure that AMAC provides the highest quality braille possible while adhering to a predetermined schedule. Braille Proofreading certificate is preferred but not necessary. If you are interested in this position, please send your resume to: guy.toles at amac.gatech.edu with the subject AMAC Proofreader Position.
