  2. Legal and business transcription agencies employ skilled proofreaders to ensure that dictated audio files are transformed into error-free documents. • Proofreading involves checking a document or text for mistakes in spelling, grammar and style. • It is crucial to deliver a well-written piece and ensure clarity in communication. www.legaltranscriptionservice.com (800) 670 2809

  3. Here are some proofreading techniques: Check your content Before you begin proofreading, get your content right. Get a printout Proofreading from a hardcopy is much more effective and easier than working on a computer screen. • If you are working on the electronic version, change the font, type, spacing, color, or style of the text. This could help you get a different perspective on what you’ve written. Make changes (800) 670 2809

  4. 1 Read aloud • After you’ve finished writing, read your piece out loud to yourself. This not only helps with grammar but also allows you to identify wrong word placement, gaps, missing information, and repetitive words. 2 Proofread The Common Text First • Check separately for each kind of error. Check the common text first for spelling errors, punctuation errors, and grammatical errors. 3 Proofread one section at a time • If your piece is very long, break it down into sections and focus on one section at a time. This will make the task more manageable. (800) 670 2809

  5. Check format last • Choose a formatting structure that will make proofreading easier so that correction of errors does not make the process more challenging. Take your time to proofread • As the main purpose of proofreading is to identify mistakes, you need to do it slowly and carefully. (800) 670 2809
