Proofreading Method
I proofread via PDF annotation or via errata sheet. However, I don't print out and edit/mail hard copies of transcripts. I prefer to proofread via PDF annotation because I can highlight the mistakes or questions I have in the transcript and then type my suggested correction above it. Although proofreading via errata sheet takes more time, I can also do this method of proofreading as well.
Marketing proofreading takes place on my computer; I am usually sent links or files to view in the party's preferred browser to view the content and note errors or recommended changes. Proofing format I leave up to the client, from spreadsheets to documents to Word tracking.
Also, if you don't know how to convert your files to PDF files, I can help you. Contact me via my email or leave a message on the Contact page.

Scoping Method
I currently scope within DigitalCAT and Eclipse. Besides scoping to full audio I also offer spot checking without audio within the software. Every client's situation is unique; I tailor my skills to what services you require. If there is bad audio, or if I am scoping a video recording, that can absolutely affect rates. Please inquire further if you have specific questions.
Policy
Please let me know about rushes as soon as possible; do not wait to notify me. I probably can proofread or scope it or you, but something may have come up that prevents me from doing so, and emailing me about a possible rush beforehand saves us both a lot of bother. Likewise, if an emergency comes up on my end or some other event prevents me from completing a file, I will notify you immediately (barring natural disaster).
If I am traveling or am taking time off that would prevent me from working, I do my best to notify clients at least 30 days in advance and will send a reminder the week before.
Proofing Only: If the work is over 50 pages, I would prefer it if you could send it to me in ‘chunks’, instead of all at once. This way, if you are still editing, I can proofread while you edit the ‘chunk’ ahead of me, and the work will get done faster.
Marketing Proofing: I need a 6-hour turnaround at a minimum and work strictly during business hours. If I am sent work after hours, you will not receive it back till the next morning. If I am sent work on a Friday, I send back proofing notes at the end of the day or the following Monday depending on when that content was sent to me Friday.
