Abstract
Direct reporting by computer touch screen is a cost-effective alternative to traditional dictation/transcription in radiology. The technique is applicable to any information which is predictable. The American computer industry could make keyboards obsolete except for programming and free text, and its failure to take the initiative in this could provide inroads to a potentially large market by aggressive foreign firms.
