Telephone Interpreting: After checking my availability, Follow the PayPal payment instructions. If you want a PayPal invoice sent
to you just ask. Next, set up the 3-way conference call and speak naturally,
pausing here and there to let the interpreter fill in. If you use long-distance internet software, we are compatible with that as well. [Note: It is not my policy to work directly for Lionbridge/BGS clients.] |
| Simultaneous:Big booth | Policy: Air transportation (i.e. outside of Texas or Paraná) and especially lodging must be prepaid or billed directly to the client or host. My standard interpreter agreement (ask for a password and username) fits on one side of one sheet of paper. I also interpret Angolan and European Portuguese and Spanish into Portuguese. Give me the logistics and let me know your requirements so I can draw up a bid. For telephone numbers click the headset or any telephone image. |
| Preparation | The secret to quality is preparation. I can transform recordings of previous presentations into portable audio media and "study" the material while traveling. The interpreter also needs to peruse a copy of anything the speaker reads or consults. I will return or destroy this material as soon as the presentation is done. I carry my own specialized glossaries on a notebook computer or Palm. |
