Summary/Abstract: The aim of the article is to present CAI tools, i.e. Computer-Assisted Interpreting tools supporting the interpreter during consecutive interpreting. The first part presents the definition of CAI, a description and examples of the first, second and third generation of this tool. Based on the analysis of the subject, it was found that the existing solutions, either in commercial or test form, are limited to terminology management. Then the author refers to the possibility of using translation memories in consecutive interpreting. The following part describes the two most important components of CAI, namely speech recognition software (ASR) and a compression tool. In the next part, possible development issues are presented.
