Nuevas tecnologías para interpretación consecutiva

Estupendo resumen de un seminario sobre nuevas tecnologías de ayuda a la interpretación consecutiva.

Posibilidades muy interesantes aunque su aplicación práctica no me parece sencilla. Quizás sea cuestión de práctica. En concreto la "sim-consec" me ha llamado mucho la atención. La posibilidad de grabar al orador (con el móvil o el "boli mágico") para luego traducirle en simultánea.

Bad things interpreters shouldn't do to themselves

Toni Rosado has selected 10 bad things interpreters shouldn't do to themselves.

I would like to highlight "Lower your fee to keep the client" and "Be timid when negotiating work conditions".

These items harm you and they also hurt the profession, everyone else in the business, that is. Like he wisely says "I am in the business of working less and making more".

Another common bad habit is "Avoid interpreter conferences". These are indeed good opportunities to learn, network and expand business.
