Monolingual target-only read for natural flow Aug 3

My "last" step is reading aloud the printed copy, then I may have few or many edits to make. After that, I hit "send'...

185 pages of highly technical stuff?
I run XBench twice with spellchecker and all.
Reread the whole file segment by segment again and that's it.

Both check in the CAT tool AND monolingual check Aug 3

I do not hit 'deliver' until I have done both.

If I am madly pressed for time, then the bilingual check for accuracy is probably the most important, but I am not happy until I have done the mechanical check and the final monolingual check as well!

Well... Aug 3

My last step would be proof-reading it twice.
