I have been saying that for a long time-- actually, it is a more fitting title for our job any more than MT since most of the doctors don't speak English anyway.

Long hours of dictation for translator
Hello. I do transcription for a medical translator and it is very lengthy work and yesterday I spent 14 hours working on medical journal articles. I use MS Word and have only used the autotext feature for inserting regularly dictated words. Is there a better program out there that is easy to use and reasonably priced that will help me not have to do so much repetitive typing. I make a lot of tables and charts too. Any help would be great.
