Not sure which interpreting service is right for you? Here’s a quick overview:

  • Consecutive Interpreting: The interpreter listens to the speaker and translates once they finish. This method is used in court cases, business meetings, medical discussions, and job interviews.

  • Simultaneous Interpreting: The interpreter translates in real-time as the speaker talks. This method is used in large conferences, seminars, and exhibitions. Special equipment is usually required, and interpreters work in pairs to maintain concentration.

  • Simultaneous Remote Interpreting (RSI): RSI reduces costs and increases flexibility by eliminating the need for on-site interpreters and equipment. It operates via cloud services and platforms like WebEx or Zoom.

How does Remote Simultaneous Interpreting (RSI) work?

  1. Speaker: The presenter’s voice and image are transmitted live to the interpreter.
  2. Interpreter: The interpreter listens and translates in real-time using high-quality audio equipment.
  3. RSI Platform: The translation is transmitted via a cloud-based platform.
  4. Audience: Participants connect via computer or mobile device and listen to the translation in their language of choice.
