Meeting Description:

We are pleased to announce Just say IT: International Workshop on
Interpreting Technologies (SAY-IT 2023), which will take place at The
Green Ray (University of Malaga, Spain), on the 5th, 6th, and 7th of
June 2023. SAY-IT 2023 is a follow-up of the successful International
Workshop on Interpreting Technologies, which also took place in Malaga
in May 2022. SAY-IT 2023 will precede the 19th International
Conference on Traducción, Texto e Interferencias (‘Translation, Text
and Interferences’), also at the University of Malaga (Spain), from
the 7th to the 9th of June 2023.
SAY-IT 2023 seeks to act as a meeting point for researchers working in
interpreting-related technologies (CAI tools, machine interpreting,
speech to text/speech translation, remote interpreting, etc.);
practicing tech-savvy interpreters; companies and freelancers
providing services in interpreting as well as companies developing
tools for interpreters. In addition to the short papers for
presentation, SAY-IT will feature invited talks by prominent experts
as well as presentations and panels hosted by practitioners.
While language technologies have already made a major impact on the
core tasks in the translation profession, the field of interpreting
has not yet witnessed a fundamental paradigm shift on account of their
use. Against such a background, SAY-IT seeks to fill in this gap by
allowing the discussion, the scientific comparison, and the mutual
enrichment of researchers and professionals working with
interpreting-related technologies. In this regard, SAY-IT addresses
the development of interpreting-related tools, and the experience
interpreters have with these tools as well as the development of
machine interpreting engines, incorporating (or not) human expertise.
The workshop also offers a discussion forum and publishing opportunity
for interpreters and for researchers and developers working on
interpreting-related technology and machine interpreting.
