AUSIT & NAATI Present: Unlock the Tools You Already Use: Word, Excel and Google Search for Translators and Interpreters (Webinar)

 

This event is proudly sponsored by NAATI – Registration is FREE for AUSIT members and all NAATI-credentialed practitioners!

Are you getting the most out of Word, Excel and Google Search?

If your use of Word or Excel rarely extends beyond the Home tab, or if you’ve never explored Google’s advanced search features, this webinar is for you.

While AI is transforming the translation and interpreting profession, core digital tools remain essential for efficient professional practice. This webinar will introduce practical features in Word, Excel and search engines that can help you work smarter, manage information more effectively, and conduct more targeted research.

Many translators and interpreters are probably aware that these features exist but may not have had the opportunity to explore how they can support their day-to-day work. Through demonstrations and hands-on activities, participants will discover practical ways to incorporate these tools into their professional practice.

After completing this webinar, participants will gain:

Knowledge of:

• Useful Word and Excel features for translation and interpreting work
• Advanced search techniques and search engine functionality
• Practical ways to improve productivity and research efficiency

Skills to:

• Use Word and Excel more effectively in professional settings
• Conduct faster and more targeted online research
• Apply technology to enhance translation and interpreting assignments
