In-person translation takes place at events where people are physically present, whether in auditoriums, rooms or other spaces. Remote translation and interpretation usually occurs in virtual events, when participants (speakers and guests) are in their homes, companies or offices and, in this way, the activity takes place through digital means and platforms such as Google Meets, Zoom and others. .

In general, the greater the audience's interaction with the stage, the better their understanding of what is being said. This is the main indicator to watch. In addition, some sound tests are made before starting the event to guarantee the quality of the transmission. We always recommend that our clients listen to a small excerpt of the simultaneous translation to make sure that it is being done with excellent audio quality and with a faithful delivery of the speaker's message.

In addition to translation and interpretation services, Voicelink provides, through partners, all equipment for carrying out and transmitting simultaneous translation. Everything will be described in two detailed budgets: one that lists the equipment for simultaneous translation, sound (if included), assembly and disassembly services for the translation booth and the technical support team; and another that shows the scope and values ​​for hiring the interpreter team.

Simultaneous interpretation is provided at the same time as the speaker is speaking. In a mental process that combines more than five simultaneous operations, the interpreter listens to the speech, mentally translates it into the other language, delivers the translation orally while listening to the next speech and monitors her oral production. This all takes place in a fraction of a second, and enables event attendees to hear the translation through headphones, as if the original lecture were being given in their own language. For the listener of the simultaneous translation, the sensation is of comfort for not having to make an effort to understand the foreign language and the assimilation of the content becomes much easier.

In consecutive translation, the scenario is different. A speaker presents himself on stage, in a foreign language, for a period of time of up to five minutes. Meanwhile, the interpreter listens carefully to the speech and takes notes to reconstruct the speech as soon as the speaker pauses. At that moment, the interpreter, usually standing on stage or speaking with a microphone in her hand, orally transmits the message that was said to the listeners, rereading her notes in order to be able to faithfully reproduce names and numbers. 

Through simultaneous interpretation and Consecutive translationlanguage barriers that separate speakers and listeners at events such as conferences and lectures are overcome. The speeches are understood by all participants, promoting the understanding and active participation of each participant.

At Voicelink Simultaneous Translation, we generally work with carefully chosen translators and interpreters. This often means that we have already been able to witness our interpreters' work in person, by sharing translation booths with them in person. In our evaluation, in addition to the determining factors for the quality of the service provided, such as language proficiency, tone of voice, quality of diction, knowledge of the subject, experience and qualifications, we also take into account your posture, discretion and ethical conduct.
