Description: Traditional pen-and-paper consecutive note-taking suffers from many issues, one being lack of perfect recall of the source speech when evaluating the rendition. The attendees will learn how to use a tablet, digital pen, apps, and audio cables to help interpreters practice and critique better, thanks to the benefits of clean speech sounds synced to the note-taking action and the ability to watch the note-taking and note-reading process live or play it back like a movie, combining audio/visual/time factors to enable the discovery of root causes of consecutive interpretation performance issues. The presenter encourages attendees to bring pens (of different colors) and paper, or a tablet and a digital pen, to do a short note-taking exercise.

Speaker:
Eric Liao is a native of Taiwan based in San Jose, California. He is a Mandarin-A, English-B conference interpreter, a California certified court interpreter, a nationally certified medical interpreter, an interpreter coach and exam prep facilitator, and a published book translation reviewer. Before a lifelong love of language brought him back to interpreting, he worked as a software localization engineer for 20 years. With a BS in computer science and an MA in conference interpreting from the Middlebury Institute of International Studies at Monterey, he feels at home leveraging technology to assist in translating and interpreting.
