What we do


Whispered Interpretation

Whispered interpretation is essentially simultaneous interpreting without a booth. The interpreter sits very close to the listeners and provides a simultaneous interpretation in a quiet voice.

Simultaneous Interpretation

The interpreter sits in a booth, listens to the speaker in one language through headphones, and immediately speaks their interpretation into a microphone in another language.

Consecutive Interpretation

The interpreter is in the same room as the speaker and follows their speech while taking notes before presenting their interpretation.

Liason Interpreting

Liaison interpreting refers to the activity of accompanying one or more people who do not speak the language of a country and assisting them in a relatively informal context.
