“Amid a plethora of handbooks, this volume is particularly timely as a much-needed stock-taking of technological developments that have been and will be shaping the way interpreting is practiced and future technology-using professionals are educated to enable communication in a variety of settings.”Franz Pöchhacker, University of Vienna, Austria“If you want to understand or evaluate technologies for interpreting, this comprehensive handbook by the leading experts in the field is a must. Ranging from remote interpreting to under-researched niche technologies, hybrid modalities and AI, it embraces spoken and sign languages as well as technological aspects of interpreter training and development. The clear structure helps the reader navigate to their own interests and questions effectively, while the authors’ engagement with critical and ethical aspects of technological change will make this a core resource for years to come, however the tools themselves evolve.”Jo Drugan, Heriot-Watt University, UK“This Handbook brings together cutting-edge research on interpreting and technology, tracing its development through to the AI era and offering a rich foundation for scholarly inquiry into a rapidly evolving field.”Josh Goldsmith, techforword
