interpreter tools

Hi all,

Earlier this year, over a thousand interpreters participated in surveys designed to look at trends, challenges, and opportunities in the current landscape of interpreting. Thanks to everyone who participated!

One question interpreters were asked was:

"What hardware or software would you consider as part of your list of 'must haves' for the modern interpreter?"

A lot of recommendations were made, and so I thought it might be fun to share a compiled list of those recommendations, and maybe also build off it, to create a more or less comprehensive list of tools that anyone can go through to get ideas which might help improve how they work.

I have published this list over on the ProZ.com blog: https://go.proz.com/blog/what-are-the-must-have-tools-of-the-modern-interpreter

What software would you add to this list? Would you recommend any particular brands or models for hardware or other equipment? Feel free to comment here or on the blog post if you'd like to contribute to improving the list.

Happy interpreting,

Jared
