Hola. Estoy empezando en interpretia y la verdad me da miedo llegar al burnout en algun punto y mi notetaking no es muy bueno. Alguien de aqui ha utilizado herramientas de transcripcion como live captions de windows para mejorar el note taking? Y si es que si, interpretia puede penalizarme por esto? Me da miedo usarla y que vean mi pantalla o algo.
I know this question may be problematic for many of you but unfortunately my schedule only allows me 30 minutes in between the end of my shift and the time at which I should pick up my kids from school (fortunately this is their last week of school) but I'm wondering: whenever you're servicing a call and you have to attend an emergency or leave for some reason out of your control, do have any tips for dropping the call/transfering it without having the clients disconnect?
has anybody had any experience with i-call international? I’m currently in their hiring process, but I’m conducting research on that company to get to know whether it’s worth it or not. I’d really appreciate if you could share your experiences.
Hola!
Me mandaron la oferta laboral de multilingual hoy y quisiera saber si alguien tiene experiencia trabajando con ellos, entiendo que son 2 semanas de training más una semana de nesting, si alguien seria tan amable de explicarme como se manejan con el training y como es trabajar con ellos se lo agradeceria mucho!
Gracias!

Hi everyone! Is there anyone working for Propio (based in the USA) who has traveled to Latin America for a few weeks or months and continued taking calls from there—or from another country? Do you know if there are any issues with that? I don't want them to think I've moved and then lower my rate or give me a hard time. I'd appreciate any information you might have!
Im a little bit worried bc I was having so many more calls and making so much more for the last 6 months before this week and suddenly im making significantly less even if im logged in and available for the same amount of hours.
For example i used to average 120-130usd per day and now im averaging 80 per day doing the same hours.
Is this because of summer vacations that the medical activity is reduced?
There was also a prompt saying that there were going to be new clients that required 2 years of experience and since I only have 1y and half I selected no bc I didnt want to lie since they have my cv on file with my experience.
Now im worried I ruined my callflow and chances of making what I was doing before this week because probably a big part of callflow went to those more experienced interpreters with those new clients.
I also asked service desk about it and they told me my account is currently active and that no configuration issues have been identified.
I sincerely hope it doesnt stay like this, anyone else experiencing this?
Language is English/Spanish.
Hace poco me aceptaron como Intérprete en Propio. Tengo título como intérprete y en la universidad aprendí temas muy generales de medicina, sumado a las técnicas y lo necesario para dar mis primeros pasos en este campo...
​
El problema es que tengo miedo de no entender, de no saber cómo resolver terminología médica que desconozco (siglas, términos muy diferentes entre cada idioma, etc). Esta semana trabajé muy poco ya que me da pavor entorpecer en vez de ayudar.
​
A veces siento que es un poco el síndrome de impostor porque ya sobreviví a la dureza de las clases de interpretación en la universidad, pero la realidad es que también soy nueva en esto.
​
¿Qué consejos me darían? ¿Algún día mejora este miedo y falta de confianza? Los leo 🫠

Empecé con Propio hace poco, y no sé si deberían estar pagándome más por VRI que OPI? Asumí que como estoy en LATAM el precio es el mismo, pero creo que en general la tarifa es distinta a OPI, alguien en propio que me pueda confirmar porfavor?
Debería pedir aumento en VRI? Y creen que me lo den, sabiendo como son?
So last year I was working with Future Group and they where so strict and annoying I was feeling Like I was going crazy so I decided to search for a new opportunity, I came across the company mentioned above and applied but after all the tests and what not, they said my laptop did not meet the criteria I was so desperate because I had already quit the other job, then I got a chance at Clear source for a 7$/h did the trainin and tests part and there was no slot but they kept me there helping others in their training
About a month or so they said hey Propio wants you for a .15$/min, flexible hours, management is not on you beck everyday and the flow is really good and since then im with them, quite happy I control how much I earn and have more liberty
just got an email from LanguageCX offering me 5$/h kkkkkkk guess who denied them now?
Sometimes I get so pissed when:
1 Provider interrupts my greeting
2 Provider tries to speak Spanish with my portuguese LEP
3 Provider speaks like a full page of sentences
4 Provider speaks so slow I lose my thought
5 They just hang up before I finish
Once I had a provider whom when I asked if I was to stay on the line after some silence yelled JUST STAY ON THE LINE INTERPRETER SHEEEESH
I felt so bad and worthless at that moment If I where weak minded I wouldve cried that day. But yeah If we had a full month of interpreter vs Rude provider ring fight it wouldnt be a bad Idea Would it?
Btw, no propio.
Hello I am actually pretty new to interpreting, I have been working for a few months, but I'd like to invest in better gear because some clients have complained about hearing "static" on the line or that my microphone output sounds really low (I already checked the settings on Windows, and it is set to the max volume).
​
I use an external microphone because I couldn't find a headset with decent audio quality. I don't want something ridiculously expensive since I'm just starting out but I would appreciate any recommendations, thanks.
