ECOS Athens 2024
European Conference of Speech-to-Text Interpreters
July 26th-28th, 2024
Aim & scope
The aim of the ECOS conference is to bring together researchers, practitioners, language service providers and other stakeholders within the field of speech-to-text interpreting (STTI).
At the ECOS 2024, we focus on the recognition of STTI as a profession, the disambiguation of the field, its bonds with others fields, the interaction of Speech-to-Text Interpreters with the audience/users and the communities they serve, the technology behind STTI, and the relevant educational background needed for professionals in the area.
Being hosted in Greece, ECOS offers a great opportunity for the country to bring the need for STTI to the surface. It also hopes to provide the grounds for countries with no or very little representation in the field to share their stories and be involved in a constantly growing community of professionals.
​
ECOS aims to bring together professionals and the users of the service, and thus invites representatives of both to attend and present their topic in Athens.
