Join us at Rice University for our quarterly meeting.

This month, we will focus on the practice of transcription.
Transcription is the conversion of spoken language into written form. Interpreters and translators may be called upon to transcribe and translate anything from a courtroom hearing to a surveillance tape. Mr. Carillo's presentation will cover the transcription process from start to finish and an overview of NAJIT's Tape transcription project. Tips on best practices and common pitfalls will be included. Rafael Carrillo is federally certified and licensed in Texas, and is a member of NAJIT, ATA, and EPITA. He was a staff interpreter for the federal court in the Western District of Texas, and is currently employed as a staff interpreter in the District of New Mexico. He has 12 years of experience interpreting and translating for federal, state, and administrative courts and has been a consultant and expert witness for numerous government agencies.
