Digital Age and Interpreting

For most, if not all assignments, interpreters receive documents electronically. They sign contracts and send invoices electronically. In addition, they spend a good part of the year on the go and they are expected to maintain communication with clients irrespective of where they are. As a result, they need a mobile office. Technology can help make an interpreter’s life easier.

This webinar aims to introduce participants to:

• preparing for assignments efficiently and paperlessly
• preparing and organizing glossaries
• useful apps and gadgets

This one hour webinar is approved for CEUs by CCHI, RID, and courts in such states as MI, KY, NC, NE, NM, TN.
