NAJIT Academy Presents:
Interpreting in the Digital Age: Technology Meets Court Interpreting
Technology is regularly touted as a way to enable and enhance interpreting in a number of different settings. The impact on interpreting is undeniable, and the ever-evolving technological landscape requires interpreters to stay abreast of the developments. This webinar presents an overview of current configurations of how technology is being used in legal settings, including video, distance, and remote interpreting, as well as how the incorporation of technology impacts the work that interpreters perform. The webinar will also address how to work with technology effectively and provide an update on current research on the intersection of interpreting and technology. This research, and its relationship to language access in the court setting, will give interpreters the tools and insight to be able to make informed decisions on how to integrate technology into their regular work.
