Author Fields - How to Cut Down on the Typing?

$

I have some kind of hand and arm injuries. Typing hurts. I wonder if there's any way to fill the author field without worsening my hand and arm injuries in my good hand and arm.

Because of the variety of name formats, I use FN LN everywhere.

Most articles lack author metadata. Copying the author data from the article often involves cutting footnotes and replacing commas with &. In especially nasty cases, it involves retyping a series of ln, fn, ln, fn, etc. names.

Many books have author metadata but in ln, fn.

Many books Anglicize Latin or 'Ellenic author names.

Is there any solution?

P.S. For the time being, I use "Various Authors" as a placeholder.
