Encoding in a computer the words found in a book, a magazine, or handwritten notes is among those daily tasks that people usually do with a computer.
This is especially true for writers who feel the need to write down with a pen and a paper first before putting those in a word processor. We all have our preferences, with which we become more effective. For some writers, writing directly into the computer is counterproductive and harmful to their creativity.
Then there are those who are just starting to modernize their records system and backing up all of their hard records with digitized ones. This is undoubtedly difficult work, especially if the records that need to be digitized cover a number of years, even decades. Doing this as a side job may not be in anyone's best interests, as the job is tedious and the pay is not that good.
It is for these purposes that we look for things that can ease the job of encoding pages upon pages of text. I can only suggest a few, and some of them are these copyholders from Fellowes.
The idea behind this bookstand is that it allows you to see the text that you have to encode with minimal neck turns. If a book (or a document), is placed flat on the surface, you will have to look down and up everytime you need to see what to type. This can be painful for your neck, unlike when the text you are going to copy is just in the same level with your eyes.
Now that's pain-free encoding for you!
