Hello again now Wim Gerbecks from Velotype.
he will explain us and provide us a detailed explanation
about how terminology is managed and implemented using Velotype
in the conference working context.
I hope you will enjoy it.
The question: is which is your working context?
At the moment congresses and bigger events
but I've worked in education, workplace and TV as well in the past.
The question: terminology preparation
when you receive a real-time intralingual subtitling work,
when do you start preparing the terminology?
Usually I start preparing it the day before.
Also because it can be very busy with other jobs which need preparation.
So I just don't have the time to start much earlier.
The question: from your experience which are the main challenges
when preparing and managing the terminology for your working context?
the main challenge is when there is no material available beforehand.
One time I had a job for a meeting
and the only info I had was the topic AI, meaning Artificial Intelligence.
I heard it right before the meeting, so I couldn't prepare at all.
The question: are there any specific areas or moments
that demand a higher terminology preparation and management?
Yes, when I know that the topic is very technical
or when I know a lot of names will be mentioned
Then it is important to put them all in the system.
The question: which information or documentation related to terminology
do you receive or request from your customer?
Most important is the agenda or schedule
besides that the names of the people who are going to speak
and after that any speeches if they are going to use them.
Specially when people are nervous and have a bad pronunciation
for example, when they are not native speakers.
It is a big challenge when they quickly start to read a script.
The question:
which sources and tools do you use to prepare and manage the terminology?
For preparation most of the time it is research on the internet.
I don't keep a repository of terminology myself.
The question: from your experience
which are the most difficult types of terms to manage
in real-time intralingual subtitling?
I have worked in the past for a student doing a medical education
at the university of Nijmegen in the Netherlands.
This was sometimes a very big challenge
especially because the teachers quickly use the many medical terms.
Question: once the work is finished
do you update your terminology before the next work?
As I don't have a repository or dictionary of terms
I don't update anything after a job.
However if I've a similar job or if I've problems during the meeting
I will prepare better and look back in old transcripts.
