The rising popularity of online large-scale events nowadays is undisputed. Global forums and business meetings move to the Internet, and so does the need for professional interpreting.
Old-fashioned events with complicated logistics, enormous rented halls and complex arrangements are slowly drifting to the past. However, the acute need to overcome language barriers remains. Along with global business culture, the profession of the interpreter evolves as well. And we at EPI Business Translation do our best to keep up with the pace.
PROFESSIONAL INTERPRETING FOR ONLINE BUSINESS EVENTS
The benefits of online simultaneous interpreting are hard to list, but relatively impossible to disprove:
- The cost. Online services cost less than traditional simultaneous interpreting. With the minimal delay and constant contact, the specialist can keep the quality of interpreting in accordance with the highest standards.
- The equipment. Whether the platform is Zoom or Skype, the interpreter does not require a soundproof booth, sophisticated headphones or microphones. A variety of remote interpreting apps make the process smooth and efficient.
- The possibilities. No remotes, wires or complex sound systems are necessary. Every participant of the online meeting or conference can switch to their preferred sound track and adjust them to their comfort with a couple of clicks.
Online simultaneous interpreting is suitable even for offline events: the interpreter is not physically present but can still provide the highest quality services while being virtually anywhere in the world.
