I'm not even a programmer, just saw this on the front page. But a few years back I worked a job where I did quality control for a transcription company. My job was to keep things uniform (formatting, slang words) and correct punctuation, grammar, and spelling mistakes.
I was able to make a fairly basic Microsoft Word macro that would do all of the formatting as well as fix about 30 of the most common mistakes. I worked in a small, fairly amateur office and my boss had no idea how much that streamlined the work, so I never let him know and just used it to give myself as much free time throughout the day as I wanted.
