Interpreting equipment
For in-person work you may need a portable tour-guide system. Members can hire the network's set of 20 receivers for £30 a day.
Booking the network's equipment
Email psi@sfti.example at least 10 days ahead. Collection is from Lantern House in Leeds, or courier delivery for £20 each way.
Remote work
A USB headset with a noise-cancelling microphone is essential. Avoid Bluetooth headsets, which add delay.
Good to know
- Interpreters can join the Public Service Interpreting network for free practice workshops.
- Confirm bookings in writing, including the cancellation terms.
- Bring water, a notepad and pens; long sessions are tiring.
