%0 Journal Article %T Classification of technological tools used in interpreting %A Halil £¿brahim Balkul %A £¿ule Ak£¿nc£¿ %J - %D 2019 %X In today¡¯s ever-increasing intercultural interactions, technological tools are widely used to meet our communication needs. Translation technologies, which were developed to solve communication problems of the people speaking different languages and ease the duties of translators / interpreters, have been heavily discussed in the academic studies about translation rather than interpreting. In this regard, there is a research gap in interpreting technologies research field. Indeed it is impossible to consider interpreting field aiming to break intercultural communication barriers without technological developments. Besides, interpreting technologies are rapidly developing nowadays and we can see the tools that automatically interpret from one natural language to another one. The current paper investigates interpreting technologies¡¯ usage areas, usage purposes and user profiles and presents a systematic classification of these technologies. Within this context, the presented classification is mainly based on the insights obtained from the literature and the researchers¡¯ reviews. Thus the current research classifies interpreting technologies in four categories, which are: the tools used in different interpreting types, an automation-based classification in interpreting technologies, a process-oriented classification and the tools used in interpreter training. This paper, which aims to introduce and classify interpreting technologies, has the purpose of sheding ligt on the further research in the related literature %K S£¿zl¨¹ £¿eviri %K £¿eviri teknolojileri %K s£¿zl¨¹ £¿eviri teknolojileri %K s£¿zl¨¹ £¿eviride yenilik %U http://dergipark.org.tr/rumelide/issue/46260/580661
