I looked up statistics from the Dept of Labor, those jobs still pay decently well and haven't seen a significant decline in available positions in the past decade or more.
How has software reduced the need for these roles? From where I'm looking at it, the jobs still exist but more people have access to automatic versions in software. While the software has gotten good enough for hobbyist or solo-venture needs, commercial enterprise and governments still use humans.
Translators and bookkeepers may use software to help them do their job faster or easier but it hasn't replaced them. CAD designers and studio musicians are still much better than their software counterparts.
Transcriptionist is a weird one, though the office typist has been outmoded as basic computer skills (including typing) have become minimum expectations for any office job, the specialist versions of the role (especially in medical records and court stenography) are still in demand, and aren't likely to be replaced by software either.
