Advantages of remote/online simultaneous interpretation

12 April 2022

In our previous articles, we have already discussed in detail the topics of Remote interpretation via Zoom and The importance of technical support during online conferences. Now, it’s time to discuss the Advantages of remote simultaneous interpretation.

Let’s take a closer look at what a remote simultaneous interpretation, or online interpretation as it is also called, is. The words speak for themselves as online interpretation is a video interpretation service delivered via tablet, computer, or phone. You can arrange meetings, conferences, and negotiations with your colleagues in the same country, as well as with colleagues from other countries. Of course, nothing can replace real-time live communication as each conversation partner’s smiles, emotions, and moods are priceless; they give us positive feedback and energize us. However, it is not always possible to meet quickly and discuss pressing issues. That is why remote communication in real-time is very convenient and has many advantages over live/offline events.
The advantages of remote simultaneous interpretation include:

• Security. Given the current global situation with the COVID-19 epidemic, you don’t have to put yourself or your loved ones in danger. You don’t have to leave your home and go to crowded places, just connect online.
• Reduced costs and saved time. Remote simultaneous interpretation significantly reduces costs for both the customer and the interpreter. You can stay at home, at work, or elsewhere and participate in a real-time meeting. The minimum standard order price, which covers at least four hours of work, can be reduced to an hourly rate. Also, by using a remote simultaneous interpretation service, you can save significantly on the equipment required for this type of service (translator’s booth, microphones, cameras, conference room rent and much more) and its transportation.
• Functionality. Even if you urgently require that negotiations be held with colleagues in Ukraine or abroad, the remote simultaneous interpretation service is always available; however, the same cannot be said of on-the-spot interpretation. The only requirement is a stable internet connection and a pinch of time to select the interpreter and arrange for his/her connection to the event.
• Great opportunities. Remote simultaneous interpretation allows us to connect with many people from different countries worldwide without leaving home. In just a few minutes, you can join a conversation with Alice from the United States or Juan from Spain, which, unfortunately, cannot be done in person.

You can order online or on-the-spot simultaneous interpretation services, as well as related services by email at office@kls.in.ua, via Telegram/Viber or just by phone call.
