In this modern times proofreading have move to a different dimension from the traditional time to current most proofreaders do their work on the computer, with modern digital publishing ( and computerized printing methods), proofreading is now usually done on a computer- through some proofreaders still prefer marking up physical copies. Currently a professional proofreader does more that just looking for grammar, spelling and punctuation mistakes, they also look for consistency issues and challenges that hamper the reading experience which can include checking that the index matches the content, verifying that the copy adheres to the authors chosen style guide and making sure that images have correct captions.
