About this service
Remote Interpreting is a variation of consecutive or simultaneous interpretation that is carried out remotely through a suitable conference software such as Zoom, MS Teams, Interprefy or other. In some specific cases that do not require visual interaction, it can also be delivered over the phone.
I am a full member of the Chartered Institute of Linguists (No. 51136: MCIL) and AIIC pre-candidate.
Although remote interpreting has existed for several decades, it became especially common as a result of the 2020 pandemic, when face-to-face interaction was limited. Opting for remote services for your event grants you an online global reach and the ability to cut travel, venue and accommodation costs for your participants, staff, and interpreters alike.
Due to their tremendous flexibility, remote interpreting services are very popular for all sorts of events and subjects.
However, without the proper knowledge and expertise many things can go wrong in an online environment.
There are several complex aspects of remote interpretation that you and your interpreters need to be aware of to ensure a smooth online event. When hiring a professional, make sure that they are fully familiarised and have experience with remote interpreting norms, conventions, and platforms.
