On-Site Consecutive Interpretation
Consecutive interpretation is our most popular face-to-face interpretation service. In consecutive interpretation, a person speaks in one language and then pauses for the interpreter to convey what was said in the listener's language.
It often requires only one interpreter, so it is generally the most cost-effective on-site interpretation solution. Speakers must remember to pause from time to time to allow the interpreter to speak so it can create delays in communication.
Consecutive on-site interpretation is ideal for 1-on-1 or small-group interpretation scenarios where most attendees speak a common language, such as:
- Small business meetings
- HR meetings
- Client-attorney meetings
- Court dispositions
- Parent-teacher meetings
- Interviews
- Medical consultations
- And more...
On-Site Simultaneous Interpretation
Simultaneous interpretation takes place in real-time, using specially-trained, two-person teams working together and broadcasting their voice to an audience wearing wireless headsets. You may hear it referred to as real-time interpretation or UN-style interpretation.
Simultaneous interpretation assignments require specialized equipment and it is not uncommon to have multiple booths and teams to cover several languages at large events.
Simultaneous on-site interpretation services are ideal for large groups and multiple-language scenarios, such as:
- Conference interpretation
- International conventions
- Business/board meetings
- Lectures
- Courtrooms
- Facility tours
- Training sessions
- And more...
