Sometimes it’s not easy to bring large numbers of people together for a conference or seminar. Particularly the Corona pandemic starting in 2020 showed us that meeting on-site and in person can become difficult very quickly. But still, the need to meet, exchange ideas and hold events remains – often in several languages. Video interpreters can help turn those events into a linguistic success.
Video interpreting (distance interpreting) or RSI (remote simultaneous interpreting) is not different from interpreting an event on-site. Both simultaneous and consecutive interpretation are possible, via platforms especially developed for video interpreter or interpretation of hybrid events.
Depending on the type and complexity of the event, interpreters can either work from their own home studio or from a so-called hub featuring a traditional interpreting booth an equipment. The more affordable option of having interpreters work from their homes, however, is not always the best choice. Despite a second internet connection or backup devices, there is always a risk of technical issues. This risk that can be minimised by working from a hub where a technician is always present and ready to help. Get in touch and I’ll be happy to present a solution tailored to your digital or hybrid event. During a consultation session we’ll find out what you need for your digital or hybrid event.
Finding a video interpreter
Professional associations like VKD are a great starting point for everyone looking for a professional interpreter. Only those complying with high professional standards and ethics can become memebers and build a strong network of professional colleagues. This is a major benefit for clients planning a larger or more complex multilingual event. Being part of an association, we can always find the right colleague for a job, even for the rarest languages.
Being a member of VKD, the professional association of conference interpreters in Germany, I benefit from a large network of great colleagues and I know exactly which of them operate a professional hub that has exactly what your event needs.
