Simultaneous-Consecutive Interpreting

Simultaneous Interpreting is real-time interpreting: clients speak naturally, without pause in the source language. The interpreter converts the speech into the target language and delivers it to the audience using audio equipment in real-time, voices overlapping. Simultaneous interpreting is the only way to provide a running rendition of everything said by a speaker without requiring the speaker to stop after every sentence. It is designed for a large audience and public speakers.

Consecutive Interpreting involves a pause in language conversion: the client speaks in the source language, pausing at the end of each sentence. The interpreter converts the speech into the target language and delivers it to the audience. This process is repeated until the project is complete.
This mode is used for Q & A of non-English speakers, and requires more waiting time. It is ideal for legal proceedings like Examinations Before Trial (EBT’s) and Diplomatic escort.
