Abstract
In order to contribute to training and skill improvement of operators in text interpreting, introspective data by and actual text interpreting images of two experienced operators were analyzed and details of the work process during entry by text interpreters were described by using a flow chart in this study. As a result, it was clarified that (1) two operators spare significant attention to coordinated entry by mutually checking entry by the other party on the monitor, (2) the process of coordinated entry is large and can be divided into “decision of the location of interruption,” “processing of the beginning of a sentence,” “entry of a main text,” “processing of the end of a sentence,” “confirmation of consistency,” etc., and (3) details of this process can be described with a flow chart by using three subgroups including kanji conversion, decision of the location of interruption and avoidance of interference, in addition to the main loop related to entry.
