The term interpretation applies to the spoken word. Whether you need a consecutive-style interpreter for a business meeting, medical exam or deposition, or simultaneous interpreters for a conference, ITS is here to help. Our interpreters are professionally trained and they possess the skills and qualifications to get your messages across in any language clearly, accurately and effectively.
In consecutive interpretation, the interpreter listens to and notes what the speaker is saying. Once the speaker finishes speaking a short segment, the interpreter repeats what was said in another language in the pause allowed by the speaker. Consecutive interpretation is usually done without the use of interpretation equipment. Situations requiring consecutive interpretation usually include small meetings. medical exams, depositions, court hearings, etc.
In simultaneous interpretation, the interpreter wears a headset through which she or he hears the speaker through a central PA system. While the interpreter listens to the speaker, she or he speaks into a microphone (transceiver) to the intended recipient who hears the interpreted message simultaneously with the use of a wireless headset (receiver). Simultaneous interpreters must be very highly skilled and trained and they must be perfectly bilingual and able to interpret automatically and "on-the-fly".
Situations requiring simultaneous interpretation usually include large meetings or conferences and interpreters generally sit in booths, separated from the audience. Because the work is so exhausting, simultaneous interpretation is almost invariably conducted with two interpreters per language working in tandem, switching every 20-40 minutes.
