What types of conference interpreting services are available?

There are many types of conference interpreting services available to our clients:

1. Simultaneous interpreting

Simultaneous interpreting is the most common form of interpreting but it is also the most difficult. As a result, an experienced interpreter is needed to perform this type of interpreting. They are required to translate what is being said and repeat it to the audience while the speaker is still talking. This method is most effective during presentations and conferences where there is a huge audience.

2. Consecutive interpreting

Meanwhile, consecutive interpretation is better suited to conferences with smaller audiences such as legal hearings and press interviews. The speaker will pause after speaking and then the interpreter will repeat it back to the audience.

3. Virtual Interpreting

If you’re hosting an online conference, you may also want to consider video or telephone interpreting. These interpretation methods are quick, easy and affordable ways to meet your immediate interpreting needs. With over 200 language combinations available, our virtual interpreting is an on-demand service which helps you connect with your audience via your phone or video call.

4. Whispering interpreting

A whisper interpreter will sit with delegates or panel speakers and quietly whisper questions or comments in their ear. This type of interpreting is useful when only a few speakers require interpretation.
