Interpretation
Interpretation involves the real-time translation of spoken language from one language to another. Interpreters must have outstanding listening and speaking abilities, as well as the capacity to think swiftly and communicate meaning precisely, even under pressure. They operate in lively environments, including meetings, conferences, and courtrooms.
On-Site Services
An on-site interpretation assignment involves providing real-time language interpretation services at a physical location, such as a conference, meeting, courtroom, hospital, or business negotiation. Prior to the assignment, the interpreter familiarizes themselves with the subject matter, terminology, and any relevant background information to ensure accurate interpretation.
Depending on the type of interpretation required, the interpreter may use simultaneous interpretation, where they interpret in real-time as the speaker is speaking, or consecutive interpretation, where they wait for the speaker to finish before interpreting.
OPI Services
An OPI assignment refers to Over-the-Phone Interpretation, where an interpreter provides language interpretation services remotely via telephone or other telecommunications devices.
Before the assignment, the interpreter may review any documents or materials related to the conversation to gain context and prepare for potential topics of discussion.
When a client requires interpretation services, they dial into the OPI platform and connect with the interpreter in the desired language pair. The interpreter receives the call and promptly begins the interpretation process, ensuring professionalism and confidentiality throughout the conversation.
VRI Services
A VRI assignment refers to Video Remote Interpretation, where an interpreter provides language interpretation services remotely via video conferencing technology.
When a client requires interpretation services, they initiate a video call through the VRI platform and connect with the interpreter in the desired language pair. The interpreter joins the video call and begins the interpretation process, ensuring professionalism and confidentiality throughout the conversation. The interpreters ensure that they have a stable internet connection, a working webcam, and microphone, and a quiet environment to minimize distractions during the interpretation process.
