Native French interpreters
Onsite & remote interpreting
Legal, business, and technical expertise We often hear from clients who request simultaneous interpreting because they assume it simply means “real‑time.” In practice, simultaneous and consecutive interpreting work very differently, and choosing the right one depends on the format, pace, and purpose of your session. Here’s how the two modes compare and when each is the better fit.
The interpreter listens and speaks at the same time, usually through headsets or interpreting channels. The audience hears the interpretation instantly, without interrupting the speaker.
Simultaneous interpreting requires specialist equipment (headsets, booths, or interpreting channels) and two interpreters for longer events due to the intensity of the work. This makes it more resource heavy and typically more expensive than consecutive interpreting.
The speaker pauses at intervals while the interpreter delivers the message accurately, preserving tone, nuance, and detail.
Because the speaker pauses, consecutive interpreting takes longer and can slow the pace of a meeting. It’s not suitable for large audiences or events where uninterrupted flow is important.
Interpreting is a specialist skill. We only work with interpreters who meet the highest professional standards.
