Adapting to Remote Interpreting

What is this? Interpreting is a challenging occupation, even when sitting together in a room with only two people talking to each other. In today’s world, however, the interpreter is often connected to the speakers remotely, that is, over the phone or over a video conference link. How does this change the interpreting dynamic? What new skills are needed? How can interpreters prepare to be a good remotely as they are in person?

This 2-hour workshop will explore the differences between in-person and remote interpreting as well as the impact on role and confidentiality of remote interpreting. Hands-on exercises will help participants develop skills in:

• Managing telephonic and video interpreting equipment to optimize video and audio input and output.
• Interpreting without visual cues.
• Managing introductions.
• Managing the flow of a session without visual cues.
• Dealing with unclear or overlapping speech.
• Troubleshooting.
