ATA Interpreters Division

A Fresh Start

September 16, 2015 By IDwebmaster

By Cristina McDowell

[Welcome to e-Voice - the new ID blog]Welcome to e-Voice! The voice of the interpreters, a departure from our traditional newsletter to a fast paced blog!

This new platform offers a frequent exchange of information that reflects our dynamic life style and can be accessed anywhere, anytime through our electronic companions: tablets, smart phones, laptops, etc.

This biweekly blog will bring you fresh information about our industry, opinion pieces, interviews of stellar interpreters, and the interpreting world’s best practices, be they from professional interpreters or end users. This blog hopes to represent all tracks of interpretation: judiciary, medical, conference, community, business and others.

Our blog is interactive. We hope you will learn a thing or two from its contents, but we also want to learn about your experiences and ideas as well. We want your presence be it by your comments of our blog posts or by contributing a piece of your own!

Many thanks to the Team for such a colossal effort!
