<p class="MsoNormal">Hi all,<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"> <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"> Today must be the day for throwing out questions . After finishing a title, sending it out for review, and then getting it returned I am trying to balance whether I correct the errors and finalize the book or just have it reread.
The reason I mention this dilemma is I get some books back with just a handful of corrections to make and some others I get back may have as many as 200 to 500 corrections to make. (Some of my reviewers are very, very through!) I know that according to NLS
standards we are to make the recordings as accurate as possible and I can be pretty OCD, but how far should I go with the editing the mistakes. (i.e. narrator said “a” instead of “the”, or towards instead of toward). As I am currently the only one doing
the corrections and most of the monitoring as well, this presents me with this challenge, do any of you have any wisdom as to at what point you make the decision to not finish a title? I hate the thought of having to spend several weeks finalizing one book,
when I could be getting several titles done in the same amount of time However, some of my longer titles will inevitably have more errors so I don’t want to just do short books.? Suggestions? Advice?<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Thanks,<o:p></o:p></p>
