What is proofreading?

Strictly speaking, proofreading is the process in which a proofreader reads a written text and marks errors in context, spelling, grammar, punctuation, and writing style. Proofreading is an important part of writing, editing, and publishing text, be it on paper or online. The process which involves correcting the marked errors is termed as editing. However, proofreading services generally involve both, editing and proofreading services.

Proofreading helps to resolve numerous mistakes

The need for proofreading

Content writers, copywriters, students, and everyone who writes makes mistakes. There are not many people who write without making mistakes. The mistakes may be contextual errors, spelling mistakes, grammar errors, or punctuation errors. Proofreading ensures that such mistakes from the first draft do not pass on to the final draft of the content.

The need to hire professionals

Whenever you are writing important content which would be published in a way that the public will have access to it, it is essential to proofread the content. When there are mistakes in content, the audience will not take the content seriously. Hence, if one wishes to come across as a professional, who has written content that matters, they must hire professional proofreaders to ensure that no error passes into the final draft of the content.

Fact

There are many proofreading software packages available in the market at present. However,  research by Dr Michaela Panter concludes that while proofreading software packages can deliver basic proofreading, one cannot rely on them for Advanced proofreading and editing. Such software packages work based on algorithms, which leaves scope for contextual inconsistency to creep in. Dr Michaela Panter holds a PhD in Immunobiology from Yale University and is a senior academic writer.
