Happy Hispanic Heritage Month! This special month highlights and commemorates the contributions of Hispanic Americans. The month begins today, September 15 and continues until October 15. The day of September 15 is significant because it is the anniversary of independence for Latin American countries Costa Rica, El Salvador, Guatemala, Honduras, and Nicaragua. In addition, Mexico and Chile celebrate their independence days on September 16 and September 18, respectively.
At Catholic Charities and AccuracyNow, we celebrate our Hispanic co-workers, who serve and empower the Hispanic community and others in need in our area, and our interpreters, breaking down the language barrier and facilitating equal access to services.

How does AI interpreting compare to human interpreting, and what are its limitations, capabilities and potential? In other words, should professional interpreters be worried that AI will soon replace their job? These questions are explored in this video produced by WIRED, where professional interpreters Barry Slaughter Olsen and Walter Krochma take on an AI speech translator named Kudo to see how its translation compares to that of a human. While AI did fairly well in terms of speed and overall accuracy, it definitely struggled with pauses and inflections, complex syntax and emotion. It is important to keep in mind that Spanish has a substantial data pool for machine learning, and this experiment may not yield the same results for rare languages. What is the verdict? AI is a powerful tool we should be curious about and use in addition to human interpretation where appropriate. Still, for high-stakes situations where the cost of mistakes is high, human interpreters continue to bear the palm. Make sure to check out this fascinating video for more details! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pwOxlpGYJAY

We are thrilled to be part of an incredible community in Springfield, OH, helping the growing Haitian population with their language needs. Our mission has always been to break down language barriers and empower individuals by providing language access. Why Springfield? The answer is simple – we've recognized a growing demand for language services in this vibrant town seeing an influx of Haitian immigrants. By establishing a presence in Springfield, we can tap into local language talent and provide in-person interpreters to organizations, businesses and individuals in the area. Check out this article showcasing Springfield interpreters and AccuracyNow's efforts to bridge the language gap and educate the community on the importance of utilizing professional interpreters:

With thousands of Haitian immigrants in Clark County, many Springfield agencies have hired their own interpreters and translators to help navigate through communication barriers.
