Checklist

[Darline Marie West]

I am in the process of compiling a checklist that I will review at the end of editing, just to make sure "stupid" mistakes do not happen and to ensure that I put out a better transcript despite "life" happening and getting in the way! Is there anyone out there that would like to share theirs if you have one?

My checklist is pretty simple.
Great proofreader - check.

[Darline Marie West]

Okay. Can I borrow yours?

Thank you, Judy!

Thanks for sharing the wealth, Judy. I have a feeling Randy may just pick up a few more reporters ... :)

I would also highly recommend Chris Renegar. You can find him here too.

1. Take a quick scroll through the transcript in print preview
2. run a word index in SearchMaster and check it carefully
3. do a search for ( to see if any fall on line 25 and end on the next page on line 1

These are Good! Didn't know you could do that in SearchMaster. That program NEVER ceases to amaze me. Thanks for the FYI!

The word list is the only thing I do with SM! I never not run a word list. At least half of my jobs, after I scoped, read again on screen, sent to proofreader, made the corrections, I find something else in the SM word list.

[Darline Marie West]

I will definitely try that. Not real proficient in SearchMaster yet, but I will look into running the word list. Thanks again for the tips!

[Darline Marie West]

Hi, Cindy! Thanks for the reply. I like your suggestions, too!. I am not sure about doing a word index in Search Master, but I'm going to play around with it and check it out. If I figure it out, I will send you the directions.

There is a tutorial in SM for indexes. Very easy. You have to make an ASCII file first. There's a tab at the bottom that says "Transcripts & Indexing."
