We will compare the most popular online platforms in terms of work environment, usability, and technical support. By analysing and weighing the pros and cons of different scenarios, participants will get a better idea of what they need to start out and succeed as remote interpreters.
To conclude, we will deep dive into the “dark side” of remote interpreting and reflect upon some critical but necessary questions regarding the (not so) remote future of our profession.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column_inner][/vc_row_inner][vc_separator color=”blue” border_width=”2″][vc_row_inner][vc_column_inner width=”9/12″][vc_column_text]Alice Bertinotti is an Italian conference interpreter working with English, French and Spanish.
