Correction re Transcribing tips



I wrote:
 
"The places where the computer says the two transcriptions differ are the places that you need to check for mistakes, as these will only show up where BOTH transcribers make the SAME mistake."
 
What I meant to say was that the only mistakes that slip through are those that BOTH transcribers make, as any other inconsistencies will show up in the electronic comparison and are easily corrected.  
 
A good example of someone seeing what they think they wrote....
