several modes of interpretation
Consecutive Interpretation
The rendition of brief spoken passages, such as questions and answers, into the target language immediately after the speaker has spoken. In the consecutive mode, the speaker and the interpreter take turns speaking; therefore, no special equipment is required.
We often provide this type of interpretation service for employee meetings, where management discusses insurance benefits, company policies, safety issues, etc. Other examples include technical training seminars, small-group presentations, conversations between doctor and patient, legal depositions, and mediation hearings.
Simultaneous Interpretation
The rendition of a source language message into a target language at the same time the source language is being spoken. For this mode of interpretation, special audio equipment is needed, which we own and can supply. Spanish speakers can hear the interpreter in real-time via supplied headset. We provide this service to IBM and Lenovo for international conferences, and for safety training sessions for construction companies and hotels in the area.
