I wondered if Other included Vision+Back+Shoulder+Hands and combinations thereof.
I have developed 'translation elbow' (yes: 'translation' elbow, I cannot blame my Wilson )

Where is all/most of the above?

I re-phrased the poll to allow you to pick the worst of the problems in case many are present.

| Speech recognition software | Jun 9, 2006 |
For those of you who answered "hands" or have any other health problems due to typing, I recommend Dragon Naturally Speaking.
Do take it seriously if you develop symptoms such as pain in your wrists, elbow, etc., otherwise you might end up with a permanent injury.
I use Dragon and it works excellent. It has built-in language modules, so it's perfect for a translator.

I've just started using it and I'm already a major fan
Not to mention that I can dictate at 140wpm, but my typing is only up to a measly 70wpm.

Thanks for the tip. I have had problems in wrists, elbow and shoulder for at least 2 years so will look into it!
Unfortunately my doctor didn't take me seriously when I said I had RSI 2 years ago...

My fibromyalgia cannot even get better with a voice recognition software, since it sometimes INCREDIBLY even affects my eyes (blurred vision) and may brain. ▲ Collapse

| No major problems until now.... | Jun 9, 2006 |
I have the following environment at my desk:
-19 inches LCD monitor (it saves a lot of eye-strain)
-Translation memory software (Wordfast/ TRADOS)
-Machine translation sofware combined with translation memory (unbeatable combination when it comes to saving on typing)
-Speech recognition software (for reducing typing at the minimum possible extent)
With this setting, sometimes I can reach 9000 words per day for technical translation.

Still no physical problems, maybe thanks to the "siesta" I take everyday ..... ▲ Collapse

Ditto. Don't know how they could have forgotten this option! ;-D
