Type: article
Abstract: As an introduction to a selection of current research on the theme of interpreting and technology this article offers an overview of the technologization of interpreting in the course of the past century, with particular emphasis on developments during recent decades. The application of various types of technology in different professional domains and settings is discussed with reference to the main functions of technology: enabling service delivery, assisting the process and replacing human agency. A brief review of some (proto)typical applications of technology in different settings and modalities of interaction then serves as a backdrop to a summary discussion of the technology-related literature to date and an introduction to the current research presented in Interpreting 26:2 (2024).
