Discover free technology resources to improve your remote interpreting services.

The pandemic has forced us to adapt to interpreting from home. In this webinar we will review basic and advanced pointers on how to use low-cost or free programs and applications you may already have to capture information, bypassing the traditional approach of handwritten note-taking strategies.

  1. How to coordinate the support of devices for capturing information without taking notes by hand
  2. How to set up the ideal home office for providing remote interpreting in diverse settings
  3. How to plan and devise a system to meet participants’ needs
  4. How to anticipate and resolve typical potential problems during one’s rendition
  5. How to determine the best protocols and ethical considerations for complying with the formal requirements of diverse settings and clients
  6. How to assess technological resources, devices, applications, and programs available that best satisfy an interpreter’s professional needs

This webinar was organized with the assistance of the Spanish Language Division.
