However, as a conference interpreter working with Chinese, I work bidirectionally between Chinese and English in consecutive and simultaneous modes. Please note that I do *not* offer telephone interpreting services, nor do I translate handwritten Chinese documents, edit work into English not performed by qualified, native-English-speaking translators, or offer discounts for the use of CAT tools. Minimum charge applies to all jobs.

PDAs and the InterpreterPalm OS(r) based PDAs offer the possibility of keeping large amounts of data on a tiny footprint. While they currently do not offer every capability a notebook computer can, their use in the interpreting booth can be convenient and space-saving, and they can faciltitate the review of documents and terms on the road.
