What types of interpretation do you need?

Remote Interpreting (RSI interpreting)

It is a form of simultaneous interpreting that is provided by using advanced technologies and remote simultaneous interpretation platforms. The interpreter is not asked to go on site, but will work via live video conferencing.

Simultaneous interpreting

The interpreter works inside a booth and listens to the speaker through headphones. A few seconds after the beginning of each utterance, the interpreter starts interpreting by rendering the message from the source language into the target language by speaking at a microphone. This interpreting service is used at conferences and international meetings.

Consecutive interpreting

The speaker delivers a speech in segments of up to five minutes each while the interpreter takes notes. The interpreter then renders each segment in turn in the target language. It’s important to book extra time for the interpreting service since it requires more time than the simultaneous interpreting (the interpreted speech is delivered after the original speech). This interpreting service is used at small conferences, interviews and informal meetings.

Whispered interpreting

The interpreter sits or stands next to the client and interprets what is being said in a low voice. It is a form of simultaneous interpreting without the booth equipment. Ideal for meetings or events involving a small number of participants (one or two people) needing the interpreting service. It allows flexibility and no equipment is required.

Community & Business interpreting

The interpreter interprets a dialogue between two people who speak different languages. Each turn is relatively short. This interpreting service is very often used in the following settings: healthcare, education, migration and human rights, and business meetings.
