What is Simultaneous Interpretation?

The speaker speaks normally in his language. The interpreters, inside a booth, simultaneously translate into the required language.

The participants hear the translation through a wireless receiver. Simultaneous interpretation is ideal for:

International seminars
Foreign lecturers’ conferences
Training courses
International meetings with various languages

The system satisfies the requirements of any conference condition. It can be used in small meetings and in large international conventions. It’s extremely compact, and it can be taken everywhere and can be easily installed in a short period of time. This system can be easily installed. as it is wireless, no cables must be connected. It’s only necessary to lay a loop antenna on the floor, a Radio Frequency antenna or an infrared transmitter in the room. Each participant sitting inside the range of this antenna/transmitter will be able to listen to the speaker through a pocket receiver supplied by our Company. The basic electronic equipment includes the simultaneous interpretation system and the Pa required for the meeting. It includes: sound console — 2 loudspeakers — one audio amplifier — 4 microphones in the room — 1 interpreters’ booth — booth accessories for 2 interpreters — 1 transmitter — 1 antenna — 50 wireless receivers for participants — 1 equipment operator. a marginal additional cost is added for every 50 wireless receivers.

Alternative Consecutive Interpretation - ACI

The single case where consecutive interpretation doesn’t apply is when a written speech is read and the interpreter is far from the speaker. So, even if time is lost due to the repetition of the two versions one after the other, many meeting organizers have decided to use consecutive interpretation. Intérpretes Asociados, considering this trend and making use of technology, has chosen to render the services of alternative Consecutive Interpretation with Listen Technologies receivers. Through this method, the audience has to use a receiver where the interpreter’s signal is listened to in the language required. In this mode, the interpreters listen to the speaker in English or Spanish with a minimum headphone system and transmit the translation through the transmitter to all the participants. This mode is ideal for Board of Directors Meetings and meetings up to 20 people where there is not enough space to assemble the entire infrastructure required for simultaneous interpretation. Currently, Intérpretes Asociados has 20 Listen Technologies receivers to serve this market segment.

Consecutive Interpretation

What is Consecutive Interpretation? The speaker pauses every two or three phrases to allow the interpreter to have time for interpreting the speaker’s sentences to the other language. The interpreter becomes an integral part of the meeting, as he/she always is very near the people participating in the meeting. Consecutive interpretation is commonly used in tours, informal meetings, trade shows, trade negotiations, receptions, etc.

Which are the advantages of Consecutive Interpretation?

It’s ideal for small groups that need a single language to be translated or for meetings help in multiple places.
It’s more cost-effective — less interpreters are required and electronic equipment is not required.
It allows the participants to absorb ideas and to listen to the lectures in both languages.
