I agree, Gabriel — I could and should have mentioned voice recognition. The drawback of that is of course that it’s no available for all languages.

Glad we could help!
I would say all computer tools are computing. I use QuickBooks (a bit of overkill) and I like a lot of its features. Everything you can find that makes your work more organized is good! Keep us posted on how Evernote goes.

Does accounting software fall into computing? I gave up on my Excel spreadsheet approach and signed up for Quicken Online in late spring. I spent time setting it up with my letterhead and other details so it is now working like a charm. It is the best computing decision I’ve made all year. (Last year’s winner was investing in SDL Trados and MultiTerm and learning how to use them efficiently.) My next challenge is contact/business card management (not my Address book, but all those people that don’t make it into my personal contact list.) I’m using Hello from Evernote. So far so good, though not perfect. I trust it will get better as we users keep making suggestions.

I use Wordfast Pro with Dragon Naturally Speaking. The integration is not (yet) perfect but it is more than sufficient.

That’s wonderful to hear, Gabriel! For the benefit of our readers (and perhaps to initiate an interesting topic), would you mind sharing with us what CAT tool do you use with your voice-to-text software? Thanks!

I am a very mediocre typist but I use an effective voice-to-text program and dictate my translations. I’m faster than any typist I know.
