Remote interpreting is still highly controversial, with a very low level of acceptance among professional interpreters. The present study seeks to assess, in the form of a literature review, the ways in which the use of remote interpreting affects interpreters' performance and well-being, and how training in remote interpreting could help to overcome or compensate for these difficulties. It draws upon a selection of twenty-five previous studies, included for their research into the use of remote conference interpreting in current practice and on interpreter training courses. Interpreters still have reservations about remote interpreting, and experience physical and psychological difficulties when working in this condition, however, it is highly likely that remote interpreting will become increasingly widespread. Training students to work in this mode will help both with overcoming prejudices and creating strategies for dealing with the unique challenges posed by remote interpreting.
