Video Summary
The training session led by Tamara Hilton covers best practices for court interpreters using Cisco WebEx, aiming to enhance remote interpretation during court events. Key topics include setting up your remote workstation, the necessary equipment, and a brief overview of the WebEx platform. Hilton emphasizes the importance of a comfortable, quiet workspace with good lighting to ensure clear communication. The training addresses optimal computer setups, recommending desktop computers over laptops due to their additional ports and capacity. Hilton advises against tablets and smartphones as primary devices and stresses a hardwired internet connection over Wi-Fi or cellular data for stability.<br /><br />Participants learn how to configure WebEx settings, including testing audio and video, adjusting microphone and headset preferences, and using the interface's various features such as the participant list, chat, and screen sharing. Special attention is given to utilizing the WebEx simultaneous interpretation feature. This includes managing dual audio channels for different languages and troubleshooting common issues like ensuring non-interpreters can still hear vital instructions, even when simultaneous interpretation is in use.<br /><br />Other interpretation methods are discussed, such as using two devices for simultaneous interpretation when the feature is not enabled on WebEx and handling confidential communications between attorneys and their clients outside of the WebEx environment. Team and relay interpreting tactics are also covered, highlighting the importance of clear communication and coordination between interpreter partners using back channels like text or separate video calls. The session concludes with basic troubleshooting tips for common technical and communication issues. This training session aims to equip court interpreters with practical skills and strategies for effective remote interpretation using WebEx.
