Difference Between Simultaneous and Consecutive Interpreting

In consecutive interpreting, the presenter will speak for 3 or 4 minutes while the interpreter takes down notes. The speaker will then make a pause while the interpreter relays the translated message. This means each speech takes twice the time! Consecutive interpreting is ideal for small meetings (e.g. parent-teacher meeting, medical appointments)

In simultaneous interpreting in Los Angeles, the presenter speaks naturally and a team of 2 interpreters will translate live what is being said, usually switching every 15 minutes to prevent exhaustion. Simultaneous interpreting usually requires interpreting equipment and the interpreters work from a sound-proof booth. This service is best for conferences and time-sensitive events without room for pauses for consecutive interpreters (e.g. conferences, TV broadcasts.)

Conference Interpreting

A qualified interpreter listens at your next event instantly translating your words to your audiences native language. Speaking at conferences has never been easier because the meaning will be simultaneously translated by an interpreter. Regional team members may confidently express themselves in their mother tongue with regional team members that speak in a different dialect.

For example an American businessman can speak at events made for the Chinese market, while an interpreter is listening giving the interpretations in real-time this allows for questions and answers while the interpreter offers communication simultaneously, giving them the ability to have a conversation in the language spoken by spectators.
