Simultaneous interpretation is the process of interpreting what is said, from one language into another, while it is being said, historically offered by interpreters onsite. However, in the last few years, remote interpretation has revolutionized the industry by providing equivalent interpreting services at a fraction of the cost.

What is Remote Simultaneous Interpretation?
- Simultaneous interpretation is the process of interpreting what is said, from one language into another, while it is being said.
- Simultaneous interpreters must think extremely quickly and in two different languages, as they interpret everything said by the speaker in real time to the audience listening on smartphones or other devices.
- There are two main types of interpretation, onsite and remote.
- Historically since the Nuremburg Trials, simultaneous interpretation has only been offered by interpreters onsite, who had to be physically present at the location of the conference.
- However, in the last few years, this is no longer the case as remote interpretation revolutionizes the industry providing equivalent interpreting services at a fraction of the cost.
- Powerful cloud-based technology makes it possible for remote interpreters to offer simultaneous interpretation from anywhere around the world and at any time, from their own autonomous offices.
