Abstract:

Technological advancement is reshaping the ways in which language interpreters
operate. This poses existential challenges to the profession but also offers
new opportunities. This books moves from the design of the computer-assisted
interpreting tool SmarTerp as a case study of impact-driven interpreting
technology research. It demonstrates how usability testing was used to achieve
an interpreter-centred design. By contextualising the case study within the
past and current developments of translation and interpreting technology
research, this book seeks to inform and inspire a redefinition of the
conceptualisation of interpreting technology research—not just as a tool to
understand change but to drive it into a sustainable and human direction.
