AI in the Booth: The Rise of Machine Interpretation
Q: How does an AI-assisted interpreting tool differ from traditional interpretation, and what specific capabilities does it bring to the booth?
CAI tools augment the interpreter by providing fast glossary access, real-time transcription, suggested terms, and AI-powered support for technical vocabulary, but they do not substitute the human interpreter who still handles meaning, context, and audience understanding.
