How does Remote Simultaneous Interpretation work?

Remote Interpretation works differently depending on who is remotely connected

---

---

---

Delegates are remote

• If the interpreters are on-site, we take the interpreter’s audio and directly stream the combined audio and video feed to delegates. To their mobile phones, laptops & PCs


• Each language has its own dedicated stream, allowing delegates to enjoy a consistent viewing & listening experience.
  

Interpreters are remote

• Our expert technicians will take the presenter’s audio and video presentation and provide this through the remote platform to the interpreters.


• The interpreter's audio is then fed into a dedicated language channel that both on-site and off-site delegates can tune-in to.
  

Presenters are remote

• The platform will capture the interpreted audio, combine and with the video from the remote presenter.
  

• It then streams the event to delegates through either the organiser’s preferred streaming platform or the Congress Rental streaming platform.

How do I implement Remote Interpretation at my event?

---

---

---

Enquiry

We start by discussing the details of your event i.e. date and venue location, number of languages and number of delegates

---

Equipment Type

Next, we determine the equipment type for your event i.e. cloud-based, traditional or hybrid.
This will all depend on the remote location of your interpreter.
Read more about equipment types here

---

Pre-Event

Our team will check and test the venue connection, liaise and train the interpreters, and configure all languages on our Congress Remote platform prior to your event.

---

Your Event

On the day of the event, we will be there from start to finish, installing, testing and monitoring the event throughout.

​Your interpreter will provide remote simultaneous interpretation via our Congress Remote platform from anywhere in the world. Delegates will hear an almost instantaneous audio translation of your event live on their smartphone or headset using the software.
