Frequently Asked Questions
Quick Interpretation Guide
We offer a clear and concise guide to interpretation modalities and their application:
When to use Simultaneous Interpretation?
In large events such as congresses, conferences, symposia and training courses where the message is translated in real time.
When to use Consecutive Interpretation?
In more intimate events, such as, business meetings, company courses, trade missions, press conferences or specific presentations at conferences. In this mode, interpretation alternates with the original speech.
What is Whispering?
It is simultaneous interpretation without technical equipment, suitable for just a few participants located near the interpreter in specific situations.
What is Liaison or Accompaniment Interpretation?
In this mode, the interpreter acts as a liaison, accompanying two or a few participants in person to facilitate interaction in contexts such as trade fairs, industrial visits, or formal dinners.
Simultaneous Interpretation Technology
Difference between Infrared Audio (IR) and Radio Frequency (RF)
Both technologies are used for simultaneous interpretation, but they differ in their application and operation:
- IR (Infrared) Technology:
- Ideal for large audiences in closed venues.
- Requires installation by a specialized technician and soundproof booths. It offers excellent sound quality and high confidentiality as the audio signal is contained within walls.
- RF (Radio Frequency) Technology:
- Ideal for small audiences on the go or outdoors.
- It does not require complex installation and it is very easy for the user to operate.
