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!
Very useful and complete insight on the possibilities and resources for interpreters looking for better work sources. Many recommendations also apply to translators.
Thank you for this amazing opportunity for learning and getting expert advice.
Thanks so much for organizing this event, our Proz.com Angels! :-)
I really appreciate the fact that I don't need to travel a thousand miles and can do this from the comfort of my home office.
I found something interesting and useful in every one of the sessions. It was definitely worth participating. Next time you should charge us all a fee!!! :-)
I really liked that the speaker spoke in a clear and engaging way that was a pleasure to hear. Of course the contents were interesting as well, we had an overview of different possibilities for income diversification, their pros and cons. Very useful, thank you!
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?

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.
