Types of Interpretation

Simultaneous Interpretation

The interpreter speaks at almost the same time as the speaker. It is often used at international conferences, symposiums, large-scale seminars, and more. Interpreting equipment such as headsets and microphones are used, and in some cases, an interpreter booth is also necessary. Simultaneous interpretation usually consists of two people who take turns interpreting at 15-20 minutes at a time.
Whispering Interpretation
In situations when only a few people are in need of interpretation or when interpretation is required within a limited amount of time, whispering interpretation is available. As with simultaneous interpretation, the interpreter speaks at almost the same time as the speaker. In this case, however, the interpreter speaks only into the ears of those in need of interpretation (1-2 people). There may be cases when simple interpretation equipment is also used.

Consecutive Interpretation

The interpreter speaks during breaks in the speaker's speech while matching the speaker’s tempo. Consecutive interpretation is suitable for meetings and discussions with multiple speakers, Q&A sessions, and business negotiations. Interpretation time is approximately the same as the original speaking time. For example, for a 1-hour meeting, the speaker's time is approximately 30 minutes.
