De la interpretación presencial a la remota: el impacto y las posibilidades de las nuevas tecnologías para la formación de intérpretes

This article focuses on conference interpreter training in a digital era characterised by two main factors: remote interpreting accelerated by the COVID-19 pandemic and the rapid development of ICT, which has brought about a real technological turn (Fantinuoli and Prandi 2018) in the world of interpreting. After considering the impact of remote interpreting, also at the level of spatio-temporal shifts, the article deals with the so-called computer-assisted interpreting (CAI) and computer-assisted interpreting training (CAIT) tools currently available, including inTrain and ReBooth, which were developed at the Department of Interpreting and Translation of the University of Bologna. Finally, some results of experiments in a didactic context of SmarTerp, a CAI tool combining automatic speech recognition and artificial intelligence, and Google Meet are presented.
