Keep matching filenames

Use the same base name for the image and TXT. ProofMaster can then load the correct pair together.

Focus Mode reduces visual distraction and keeps the current line clear while you correct the text.

Fix each confirmed difference inside the TXT file, then continue from the same position.

Autosave and last-position tracking help you continue from the last page and line after a break.

COMMON QUESTIONS

Can I compare files with different names?+

Matching names are strongly recommended because they reduce the risk of opening the wrong image.

Can software guarantee accuracy without checking?+

No. Accuracy depends on comparing the complete text with the original image and correcting every difference.

Should I correct the TXT before creating the final file?+

Yes. Complete the checking first, then prepare or type the final RTX, WRT or NTS file.
