Contenido principal del artículo
Resumen
This article analyses the perceptions of computer-assisted interpreting tools in interpreting practice and training based on the findings of a survey distributed to English/Chinese interpreters and trainers. Results analysis show that most respondents are positive about the application of CAI tools albeit without much application experience yet. Professional interpreters and trainers are optimistic about the existing CAI tools but mainly used them in preparation and post-interpreting stages. Secondly, user feedback shows CAI assists mainly in the science & technology domain. Thirdly, CAI tools are welcomed in interpreter training but trainers insist on the acquisition of skills before integration of technologies.
