Las tecnologías de interpretación a distancia en los servicios públicos: uso e impacto

This chapter deals with the use of distance interpreting technologies and their impact on public services interpreters. Remote (or distance) interpreting offers a wide range of solutions in order to successfully satisfy the pressing need for languages services in both the public and private sectors. This study focuses on telephone-mediated and video-mediated interpreting, presenting their advantages and disadvantages. We have designed a survey to gather data about the psychological and physiological impact that remote interpreting technologies generate in community interpreters. Our main aim is to ascertain interpreters’ general view on technology, so as to detect deficiencies and suggest ways of improvement. This study is a first contribution in the direction of optimising distance interpreting technologies. Current demand reveals the enormous potential of distance interpreting, its rapid evolution and generalised presence that this modality will have in the future.
