Resources for Interpreters Webinar #6: Advanced Tips for Remote Simultaneous Interpreting in Zoom

Описание: RSI has been around for quite a while now. As conference interpreters we all had to adjust and add another set of skills to our toolbox in order to go remote. Who knew being tech-savvy would become so crucial?

However, although some time has passed and a lot of us are now comfortable interpreting on different platforms, challenges remain. We end up finding ourselves in situations where we feel like we don't know how to make technology work well enough to do our jobs properly.

Take Zoom, for instance. Have you ever experienced difficulty logging into a meeting or being assigned to the booth? Wondered why a bell would ring in the background every once in a while and not know how to fix it? Heard from a client that your high-end setup was actually producing bad sound quality? Failed to understand why your vacation picture was on display for hundreds and hundreds of attendees to see? Well, then you've come to the right place.

In this webinar that comes packed with examples, you'll learn how to fix most significant problems common to interpreting in Zoom. You’ll also gain insight into important information to share with your clients, and we’ll identify red flags you should pay attention to before an event in order to make sure everything runs as smoothly as possible, as these and many other problems are easy to fix—and avoid—as long as you understand how the system works and incorporate a few best practices into your routine.
