In previous years, virtual meetings have increased in popularity. They appear as a climate-friendly alternative to air travel and traditional in-person onsite meetings and conferences. Innovations in Remote Interpreting solutions and technologies are facilitating a shift towards more remote scenarios. COVID-19 outbreak, lockdowns, and travel restrictions prompted such a shift.

What is Remote Interpreting (RI)?

Interpreting is the facilitation of spoken or signed language communication between users of different languages. In the language industry, you may distinguish between consecutive and simultaneous interpreting.

In simultaneous interpreting, the interpreter listens and renders the message in the target language at the same time as the speaker is speaking. In consecutive interpreting, the interpreter speaks after the source language speaker has stopped talking.

Interpreting services are performed face-to-face and remotely. In order to perform remote interpreting, technological platforms are required to facilitate over-the-phone and video multilingual communication.

Remote Interpreting in the new normal

During uncertain times when connection and accessible information are vital, innovations in Remote Interpreting solutions and technologies are making it possible to overcome the halt to traditional in-person onsite meetings and conferences.

In times of pandemic, many companies are turning to webinars, virtual events, and videoconferences as their primary outreach and promotion strategy. Having your event interpreted into one or more languages can help you get new attention from a wider audience and pave the way for business growth.

Whether it is a team, board, or employee meeting, a presentation, a round-table, a conference, or a webinar, Remote Interpreting reduces barriers to participation and therefore increases accessibility.
