Events that require language interpretation are often challenged by time requirements, space limitations, physical location of equipment and interpreters, and the need to link different locations together. The ability to perform remote language interpretation is a solution to these challenges. Here are a few examples of the applications that require it:
You will find Listen Technologies products at work in some very impressive settings. But there is one venue where I hope you NEVER have to experience the capabilities of Listen Technologies first hand – a courtroom! ExhibitOne is one of the country’s leading A/V integrator for federal, state and local courts. We recently introduced our patent pending Virtual Court Interpreter System™ – (VCIS™).
I have often been asked the question, I thought that language interpretation was a process where the presenter would speak a couple of sentences, and then the interpreter would repeat them in a different language, and they would take turns communicating the message? If so, what does your interpretation equipment do? The answer to this question is found in the explanation between consecutive interpretation and simultaneous interpretation. The truly inquisitive (and glutens for punishment ) will follow that initial question with are there different types of language interpretation? I think the easiest way to explain this is to define them one at a time:
I have been working in the language interpretation industry for more than 20 years now, and when I get asked the question What do you do for a living?, I sigh and prepare to attempt as short and concise an answer as humanly possible. However, this usually leads to the inevitable definition of what simultaneous interpretation is and how it works. I usually start with, you know, like they use at the UN , but that is rarely sufficient for the curious mind.
