When optimal conditions are met, the interpreter works in a soundproof booth together with at least one colleague.
The speaker talks into a microphone, the interpreter receives the audio through headphones and translates the speech almost simultaneously, speaking in turn into a microphone.
Participants listen to the interpreter’s voice through headsets or, when several interpreters are working in different languages, they can select the channel corresponding to the desired language.
As can easily be understood, simultaneous interpreting requires specific technical equipment. This means that, in addition to the interpreters, at least one sound technician must be engaged to ensure the smooth and well-organised technical management of the event.
The main advantage for clients requesting simultaneous interpreting services is that the interpreter delivers the message in the target language with only a few seconds’ delay. As a result, interpretation has no impact on the scheduled duration of the event (conferences, business meetings, and similar occasions).
By relying on Finking’s professional interpreters, highly specialised and with extensive experience, the success of your event is guaranteed!
