i03.1-Intro to Phone and Video Interpreting

In 3 hours, open your world to a new profession as a telephone interpreter or/and videointerpreter. The market is estimated at 600 million in the US plus 400 million in the rest of the world, and growing by the day. If you speak two (or more) languages FLUENTLY, you may become a teleinterpreter or videointerpreter.

Attendees will understand what over-the-phone-interpreting (OPI) entails, what remote video interpreting (RVI) is, and the skills and tools needed to develop an edge in these new professions. OPI and RVI are quickly replacing on-site interpreting to assist communication between doctors and patients, courtroom procedures, call centers and consumers, credit card companies and their users, insurance companies and claimants, investors and foreign partners, individuals in global social networks, and many others, including the public and government
agencies.
