On September 8, 2022, ISO released "Synoptic Interpreting Delivery Platform Requirements and Suggestions" (24019: 2022 Simultaneous Interpreting Delivery Platforms: Requirements and Recommendations) Revised version.
This release replaces the old version used since 2020. In the revision, ISO was closely watching stakeholders such as speakers, interpreters and platform providers of remote simultaneous services to more effectively regulate the use of technology in the field.
September 16, Naomi Bowman, ISO 24019 project editor and president of DS Translation Company of the United States, said in his statement: "The new standard is designed to ensure that translators can work under reasonable and safe working conditions, so that participants can get the expected convenience. (Standard) achieves these goals in a unique, clear and novel way: regulating the technology provided by the platform; clarifying the responsibilities and relationships of each stakeholder; and requiring them to work together to achieve compliance."
Bowman pointed out in his statement that early versions of the 24019 standard focused mainly on the technical support behind the platform, in order to provide basic quality standards for the newly emerging remote simultaneous market. By identifying the key stakeholders to use the simultaneous interpretation delivery platform, ISO has designed a set of requirements and recommendations that should be followed to ensure high-quality interpretation.
Bowman wrote: "If the speaker does not use a qualified microphone, resulting in poor sound quality of the sound, then platform providers cannot provide interpreters with high-quality audio input, reducing interpreters' work ability and audience experience." She explained the need to revise the 2020 standard. The revision of
was expanded on the basis of the 2020 version, and its size reached more than twice the size of the old version. The new version has demanded for interpreters, speakers and platform providers to ensure images and audio are delivered accurately and clearly. The standard PDF and EPUB resources are priced at 138 Swiss francs (USD 141.04) on the official ISO website.
