Why don't you do a test? Prepare a one-document project, open the document, and lock all segments.

Now, to keep track of your progress, you can go the Overview tab and create a new progress report every time you want to see how much you have progressed. Then just compare the confirmed words in this new report to the ones in the previous report.
