Eye strain - Ineedglasses

I am new to VR. Everyone in management said it will be so much easier on your wrists. Well maybe. But it is terrible for the eyes.

Looking at page after page of little black letters on a white computer screen. No mistakes of any kind, no typos allowed, 100% accuracy hour after hour. Of course I agree.

However, anybody doing proofreading would be able to come back after a break and read over what they have typed but in transcription this is not possible. They would this knowing that little errors are likely to be made as we are humans and not robots. But with VR, you have to proof as you go or after a completed report. Little tiny errors are so hard to catch as opposed to when you are transcribing and able to catch it easier through the process of actually typing the word. Of course a QA person can catch a mistake much easier because they are seeing it through fresh eyes. We can always read something another has transcribed and find the errors in a nanosecond. They scream at us because we did not transcribe it. But when it is your own tedious report after say the 7th hour of looking at the computer screen noticing a typo or a word dropped is not so apparent.

Any tips??? With VR you cannot look away from the screen for one second and yet after a few hours the screen becomes a blur. I don't think this it is fit for humans to stare at a screen for hours on end but that is basically what VR is. Just do it if you want to survive in this business and don't ever mistake an o for an a or 0 for O.
