About the training

Are you sometimes thrown into a meeting at the last moment without much time to prepare? Do you struggle to find the right terminology for your interpreting assignments? Wish you knew how to use technology to prepare faster and more accurately? In this hands-on workshop, Josh will walk you through the exact tools I use to prepare for an actual interpreting assignment.


After this session, you’ll know how to:

● Build a digital glossary, use it to search for terms, and share it with a colleague
● Highlight and annotate terms and key concepts in a PDF using a tablet or computer.
● Automatically extract terminology from long documents and parallel documents
● Use automatic transcription tools to quickly prepare from audio or video material

The training will include interactive exercises where you'll learn to use some of the best free and low-cost terminology and transcription tools for interpreters. Get ready to discover my favorite free and low-cost apps to turbocharge your interpreting preparation!
