Library : Interpreting

Interpreters are increasingly requested to work from home, on their own computer, using online interpretation platforms. This booming way of working is sometimes described as the perfect solution. However, RSI, which was not used so often in the past, has an impact on interpreters' health, investments, markets, quality, liability, rates, tasks, and learning processes. The Interpreters' Sector Commission of BKVT/CBTI therefore thought it would be useful to study the matter thoroughly. Attached you will find the sum of its comments, conclusions and recommendations for interpreters and their customers, in the form of an ISD information pack and a comparative table of the most common online interpretation platforms.
