Thanks for answering my question. I do use Auto Correct, as we have MS Word as the software we use for documents and I am building my list up. Itis good for some words, terms or phrases..I'm not sure how much it has helped boost my line count. I just honestly wanted to know what is fair for a newbie MT doing this for one year. I am lucky that we do not have hardly any ESL docs. You are right about my employer being harsh--my asst manager assigned me orthopedics last month and she said to me a few days ago that I should have had Ortho down by now!! I tell you, these people have never heard of a learning curve! After taxes, I make about 16,000/year and that's based on a full-time 40 hour work week. They don't pay me enough for the stress, so I'm looking for something else now. the job market in this area is pretty lousy, but I keeping hope!
