Types of interpreting
Each type suits a different setting. Not sure which one you need? We’ll help you decide.
Simultaneous interpreting
The interpreter works from a booth while the speaker talks, and listeners hear the speech in their own language through headphones, in real time.
Best for
Large groups: conferences, long official meetings and training sessions
Equipment
Booths, microphones and headphones
Consecutive interpreting
The speaker pauses every few sentences, or every few minutes, so the interpreter can deliver the message. Each speech takes about twice as long.
Best for
Small groups: business meetings, press conferences, short presentations, exhibition visits and medical consultations
Equipment
None needed
Whispered interpreting
The interpreter sits or stands next to one or two listeners and whispers the speech in their language, with a very short delay.
Best for
One or two people at a meeting or event where no simultaneous interpreting is provided in their language
Equipment
None needed
