What is Simultaneous Interpretation?
Simultaneous interpretation is the act of interpreting what is being said by the speaker in real-time, with only a few seconds of delay. The interpreted speech is then streamed to the audience thanks to specialized equipment. The interpreter operates in a soundproof booth, speaking into a microphone. This signal is then received via headphones as the speaker talks.
The Importance of Professional Simultaneous Interpretation
Simultaneous interpretation is an exceptionally specialized task that can be carried out only by trained professionals with years of experience in the field. This job is particularly demanding because linguists are required to speak and listen at the same time. Since this mode is so demanding, interpreters can work for short amounts of time. This is the reason why simultaneous interpreters always work in pairs, taking turns every 20 or 30 minutes.
