Interpreting
Simultaneous and conference interpreting.
Live language is unforgiving. We dispatch interpreters trained for the pressure of the moment: simultaneous booths at conferences, consecutive in deposition rooms, whispered in boardrooms, and remote over secure platforms. Every interpreter is vetted for both the language and the field.
In simultaneous interpreting, the interpreter works in real time from a booth, so a conference can run at normal speed in more than one language. It suits conferences, large meetings and events.
Consecutive interpreting for legal and business meetings.
In consecutive interpreting, the interpreter follows each segment of speech after the speaker pauses. It suits depositions, interviews, negotiations and smaller meetings where accuracy on every statement matters more than speed. Read more in our guide to simultaneous vs consecutive interpreting.
Whispered interpreting (chuchotage).
In whispered interpreting, the interpreter sits beside one or two listeners and interprets quietly as the meeting goes on. It suits boardrooms and site visits where only a few people need the other language.
Remote and telephone interpreting.
Interpreters can join you remotely on Zoom, Teams or Webex, or by phone. Remote interpreting works well for short consultations, interviews and meetings with participants in different places.
