@Zoom unveiled its Sign Language function this week. Thrilled to share guidance/thoughts on the @TEA_Language blog: tinyurl.com/3up8uzcy. A positive first step, but some major issues after initial testing with @AimeeBenavides2 and #ASL interpreter Tailyn Kaster. #RSI #1nt

7 April, 5pm BST: @ITI_IDN webinar on "The evolution of conference interpreting in international tribunals" With Richard Alderman #1nt eventbrite.co.uk/e/the-evolu…
There's a time and place for machine translation, and there are nuanced conversations we can all have about its value. But last night @Lionbridge tried to pass off an MT post-editing project as just "editing" and a line was crossed. (A thread.)

I'm reading up on acoustic shock in #r1nt. This popped up, thx @aiic_canada! In the Canadian Parliament back in April 2020, Zoom's Global CIO was asked about Zoom as a simultaneous #1nt platform. His reply made me chuckle. ourcommons.ca/DocumentViewer…

Someone recently advised activating the "High Fidelity audio" option in Zoom. Well, don't do that. It increases the load on CPU and bandwidth. So the sound may actually get worse (cutouts, metallic ting, etc), especially during extended #r1nt sessions. I learnt it the hard way..

The single biggest failure of my life as an English Professor is being unable to shake my students' belief that what we're doing is finding "hidden meanings" in a text rather than improving the quality of attention we're giving it.
