I simply loved the presentation on interpreting and tablets! Josh and Alex made an excellent job at explaining different aspects, from what is available in the market to a great demo on consecutive interpreting with a tablet. Thank-you!

14:14 Jun 6, 2014	Peter Motte: 30753	All	And what about the prices? Some of my clients asked 30% reduction on my normal prices for MT. The idea is that MT translations would take me 30% less time. But is that true? And even if it is true, MT should give me better matches. Wouldn't discounts for matches automatically reduce the price? So, it MT really cheaper, or will we end up with worse paid translators?

14:17 Jun 6, 2014	Thanh Ha Ngo: 825574	All	for simple text, MT is ok
14:17 Jun 6, 2014	Thanh Ha Ngo: 825574	All	but the complex ones, use human translation
14:17 Jun 6, 2014	Piero Intonti: 679522	All	No, in my experience and related to the particular linguistical combination, the
14:17 Jun 6, 2014	Thanh Ha Ngo: 825574	All	as MT could not distinguish the contexts

14:23 Jun 6, 2014	Henry Dotterer: 1	All	a pity!
14:23 Jun 6, 2014	Peter Motte: 30753	All	Hey, what about DVX3? That's a very good one too. The latest version has MT built in. Not that I want to promote MT.

14:23 Jun 6, 2014	Lucia Leszinsky: 855539	All	Now, regarding the topic of this chat, I have one question: MT = good or MT = bad????
14:24 Jun 6, 2014	Henry Dotterer: 1	All	MT is good if we have a positive mindset
14:25 Jun 6, 2014	Lucia Leszinsky: 855539	All	I agree César!
