Translation and Interpretation Technology: The Basics and Beyond

When it comes to the technology we use as language professionals, we should always be intentional in our choices. What are the basics? What other hardware and software can be used to enhance our productivity and improve our health? In this presentation, we will explore the answers to these questions and will encourage attendees to take stock of what they already have and what they may want to add to their workstations.
