[stylist] JAWS and Our Craft

[Homme, James]

Hi Robert,
I'll have to give the text analyzer another try. So far, listening to it totally annoys me. And when I spell check in Word, it looks for extra spaces between words. Also, in the technical world, we spell things with a lot of crazy upper and lower case changes, so the text analyzer would just put out a lot of false negatives.

Thanks.

Jim

In checking my finished product for punctuation or font weirdness's, I first
use Word's spell check with the grammar feature on. Then I next use the text
analyzer that comes with JAWS (found within the quick settings menu that you
turn on by pressing JAWS-key [insert] and the letter v). And this text
analyzer is a way to catch changes that Words checkers cant; the change in
font at what point in the line, or that there is an opening parin but no
closing parin, or a piece of other punctuation standing alone (like a comma
with a space before and after it), and more.
