[Stylist] Proof Reading using a Braille display?

[Vejas Vasiliauskas]

Hi All,
I have a Braillenote, but I haven't edited any stories for money. I'm wondering, for these of you who have answered (especially for Tessa and Phyllis) what symbol you use to indicate comments. Do you use a bullet point? I've helped my friends with their writing before, but usually write my comments in a separate document or a text message (very professional, I know!) haha

> The sense has both audio and braille so I often read a piece more than once. The first time using audio I read for the over all impression. The second time I add in comments and the third time I turn the audio off and read strictly in braille. It helps me to catch typos and is more focused than audio. I really need the braille when doing my own work because of course you know what you intended saying and sometimes you miss things with the audio. That being said I still have been known to miss a few things, capital signs and mixing up words and such. But I definitely find a braille display has improved my proof reading tremendously.
