Validators in the process of adapting Easy-to-read
Gal Munitz Validator
Hi, my name is Gal.
What I like the most
about being a validator
is being able to help people
who have trouble understanding
due to different life circumstances.
I appreciate the opportunity
to be able to help.
It simply means a lot to me
to have this title of a ‘validator’.
I am very grateful to people
who do not only value me as a person
but also for my work.
Thank you.
Juan Manuel Arienti Validator
My name is Juanma.
Being a validator means
helping people who do not understand.
We mark the mistakes and correct them,
change information,
make it much better.
I am very grateful for this job.
I like to work, study, I like to be busy.
I really like being a validator.
It makes me proud.
I like talking about it in interviews,
organizations, schools...
I like it.
THUMBS UP!
Franzisco Noziglia Validator
What's up?
My name is Francisco Noziglia.
I am a plain language text validator at Visibilia.
A text validator is someone who puts himself in the shoes
of a person with reading difficulties, with or without disabilities.
The validator ... points out what other people might find
hard to understand in the text.
That can be corrected
so it is easier to understand.
Of course, not only one person does this but more people,
they make like a recollection of information
to know how much text you should change or how much text can stay.
I work at Visibilia as a text validator
Well, partly because of the money itself,
LIKE ANY OTHER WORKER.
You don't work for free, you work for money.
But I also work out of the habit of helping Visibilia and Article 24.
It's like a habit!
