Image description
The header reads as follows: Going virtual or hybrid? Support interpretation safety and quality! Follow these requirements and best practices to protect interpreters and facilitate interpretation. The document is then divided into six columns, where the following text can be read, accompanied by representative icons: Mandatory - Sound quality - Speak through the Internet audio (not a phone line) using a wired (not Bluetooth) tabletop microphone or headset with boom microphone. Hardware - Participate using a computer, not a smartphone or tablet. Internet connection - Use a fast, wired (not wireless) connection, and limit the number of other people and applications using your bandwidth. Avoidance of distractions - Appear in front of a plain background, and mute all of your devices’ audio notifications. Meeting discipline - Speak only on your turn, and stay muted when not speaking. Clarity of speech - Speak slowly, and if you have a written speech, provide a copy in advance to the interpreters. At the bottom of the page is the Public Services and Procurement Canada logo, the Canada wordmark and the remark "Created by the Translation Bureau.”
