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

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!
