Simultaneous interpretation is when an interpreter translates the message from a source language into a target language in real time. In this type of interpretation, the natural flow of the speaker is not disturbed as the interpreter interprets the message while the speaker is talking, and the listener receives the message in their preferred language in real-time.
Typically, in in-person meetings and events, simultaneous interpreting requires the interpreter to work from a hardware console in a soundproofed interpreting booth, while the audience wears headsets to listen to the interpretation in real-time. Check our simultaneous interpretation guide for more info.
What is remote simultaneous interpretation (RSI)?
Remote simultaneous interpretation is when the interpreter works from a computer connecting to the meeting or event via the internet. Interprefy has developed a professional interpretation platform that enables interpreters to work from anywhere in the world as long as they have a computer, headset, and internet connection. Depending on the meeting setup, attendees can then access the interpretated audio and language channels via a mobile phone, a laptop, or desktop device.
As well as its stand-alone interpretation platform with videoconferencing capabilities, Interprefy has expanded its capabilities to include AI speech translation and live captions, and provide compatibility with the most used videoconferencing platforms.
