Meeting Description:
We are pleased to announce Just say IT: International Workshop on Interpreting
Technologies (SAY-IT 2023), which will take place at the 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.
Call for Papers:
INVITED SPEAKERS
- Bart Defrancq: Associate Professor at Ghent University (Belgium)
- Daniela Eichmeyer-Hell: certified speech-to-text interpreter, University of
Vienna (Austria)
- Fardad Zabetian: Co-founder & CEO at KUDO
- Jan Niehues: professor at the Karlsruhe Institute of Technology (Germany)

- Pablo Romero Fresco: Senior Lecturer at Universidade de Vigo (Spain) and
Honorary Professor of Translation and Filmmaking at the University of
Roehampton, London (UK)
- Susana Rodríguez Verdugo: Co-founder & CEO at KUNVENO
SUBMISSIONS
The international workshop invites submissions reporting original unpublished
work in the form of short papers (SP). Short papers should not exceed 7 pages
excluding references; they should be minimum 5 pages long. Short papers should
follow the template provided in Submissions. The accepted short papers will be
published as e-proceedings with ISBN, will be assigned a DOI and will be also
available at the time of the workshop. SPs must be written in English.
The deadline for SP submissions is 10th May 2023. SPs can be submitted via the
following link: http://lexytrad.es/SAYIT2023/. Authors will be notified on
19th May 2023.
In addition, a call for follow-up papers will be announced after the workshop,
where participants in SAY-IT 2023 will have the chance to submit full-length
papers based on their research. These full-length papers will be published as
peer-reviewed chapters in a SPI-Q1 book.
