Remote Simultaneous Interpretation (RSI) involves the real-time oral translation of speeches for participants in different locations, using digital videoconferencing platforms.

• Main Steps

Organizers configure the platform (e.g., Zoom) with dedicated audio channels, ensuring a stable connection for speakers, interpreters, and listeners. Interpreters, in a controlled, noise-free environment, listen to the speaker via headphones and transmit the simultaneous interpretation into the target language through specific microphones. Listeners select their desired channel on their devices to follow the live translation.

• Technical Requirements

It requires high-speed internet, professional audio equipment, and teams of interpreters working in shifts for long events, preventing fatigue and maintaining quality. Platforms support hybrid events, with relay for multiple languages.

• Advantages

It allows for global inclusion without travel, ideal for online or in-person conferences with remote participants, focusing on fluidity and accuracy.
