French term or phrase: lecture avec/sans copie
Le correcteur à domicile, tel qu'il est défini à l'article 1er, est rémunéré sur la base de 12 000 signes à l'heure pour la lecture avec copie, et de 15 000 signes à l'heure pour la lecture sans copie..

This is taken from an agreement in the publishing industry, for the pay of proofreaders working from home.

Explanation:
Reading against copy is when you are given the copy-edited version of the text to check the text against as well.

Blind proofreading is reading the proof without any copy (the original typescript) to check against.
