The COVID-19 pandemic brought face-to-face meetings to a halt almost overnight. Shortly afterwards, however, gatherings were moved online and remote communication tools enabled interpreters to resume servicing meetings. Remote simultaneous interpreting (RSI) has now boomed and its widespread use has brought about fundamental changes in conference interpreting. This article will present how conference interpreters coped with this new reality. It will lay out their view on working conditions, how they perceived the impact of RSI on the interpreter’s performance, the main issues and opportunities identified in RSI, as well as their outlook on the future role of RSI in the profession. These findings are part of a wider survey-based study conducted one year into the pandemic, between March and April 2021. The survey collected valid data from 849 respondents, all of them conference interpreters with at least 5 years of professional practice, from 19 countries.
