Almost none of us planned to perform remote simultaneous interpreting (RSI) day in, day out. But then the pandemic hit. Suddenly we had to perform RSI to get assignments. We did the best we could: we set up a workspace, bought a better headset and studied interpreting platforms. But soon we realized that remote interpreting was more physically and mentally exhausting than interpreting face to face.

This webinar explores some of the reasons why RSI is challenging and what we can do to improve our performance and protect our health and well-being. We’ll also look at how team interpreting works in RSI.

After attending this webinar, the participant will be able to:

1. Identify differences between interpreting face to face and remotely that can affect the interpreter’s performance.
2. List and discuss specific aspects of the remote simultaneous interpreting (RSI) environment, such as sound quality and work conditions, that interpreters can control.
3. Describe how to perform team interpreting in RSI.
